Blood Clots
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
It is key to promptly discuss any swelling, pain, or color change in a leg with a professional, because it could be a thrombus. Thrombi are blood clots that form inside the blood vessels and can partially or completely block circulation.
What it is: A thrombus appears when blood clots inside a vein or artery; by hindering flow, it can affect the tissue that depends on that vessel.
Warning signs: Pain, warmth, redness, or swelling in a limb, or sudden difficulty breathing, are situations that warrant care without delay.
Who treats them? Their study may involve the angiologist, the vascular surgeon, the cardiologist, or the internist, depending on the case. If a thrombus is suspected, it is advisable to seek medical evaluation as soon as possible.
