Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments
When a blood clot forms in a deep vein within your body, it is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
DVT can mimic the symptoms of various other health issues. However, about 50% of the time, it presents no noticeable symptoms.

Recognizing DVT: Differentiating from Other Conditions
DVT may be indicated by one limb that is swollen, painful, warm, and red. However, other conditions can produce similar symptoms.

Health Risks Associated with DVT
If you've been diagnosed with DVT, you might wonder if you're at an increased risk for other health problems.

Understanding the Risk Factors for DVT
DVT can be difficult to detect, so it's essential to understand the risk factors to help prevent it.

DVT Incidence by Demographics
According to the American Heart Association, DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE) together affect between 300,000 to 600,000 individuals in the U.S. annually.

The Role of Genetics in DVT
Genetic factors, such as Factor V Leiden and a prothrombin gene mutation, can increase the likelihood of developing blood clots.

Post-Surgical Blood Clots
Surgery is a significant cause of DVT, leading to blood clots forming in the deep veins, often in the legs.

Treatment Options for DVT
Treatment for DVT typically involves medication and self-care, but sometimes surgery is necessary. At Minimally Invasive Surgical Solutions, our Board Certified Physicians specialize in treating DVT with a variety of minimally invasive procedures.
