Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

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).

Blood clots form more easily than normal

The risk of getting DVT is increased with a condition that causes blood to clot (coagulate) more easily than normal. Some of these conditions include:

1 cancer and cancer treatments

2 heart disease and lung disease

3 thrombophilia, a genetic condition where the blood has an increased tendency to clot
