What is deep vein thrombosis?
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition in which a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins.
The symptoms of a DVT can go unrecognised.
What causes DVT?
Deep vein thrombosis is usually caused by a combination of different underlying conditions:
Restricted movement
Blood flow in the veins is slowed down because of restricted movement for a long period of time (illness, after surgery, long-distance traveling).

cancer and cancer treatments
heart disease and lung disease
thrombophilia, a genetic condition where the blood has an increased tendency to clot
