Deep Vein Thrombosis

Deep vein thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most often in the legs. It is a condition that requires attention because it can affect circulation.

Common symptoms: swelling in one leg, pain or tenderness, warmth, and redness in the affected area.

When to see a doctor? It is important to seek care promptly in the case of sudden swelling and pain in one leg, especially if accompanied by warmth or redness, since it requires a timely evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon study conditions of the veins and circulation, and the hematologist takes part when it is related to clotting. In the case of these signs, seeing a professional without delay is the safest decision.
