Doug was diagnosed with DVT and has to give himself 2 shots per day for a week and take blood thinner. He also has to wrap his leg and if sitting get up to walk every 20 minutes. Just what he needs more to do on his daily list.
What Is Deep Vein Thrombosis?
Deep vein thrombosis (throm-BO-sis), or DVT, is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the body. Blood clots occur when blood thickens and clumps together.
Most deep vein blood clots occur in the lower leg or thigh. They also can occur in other parts of the body.
A blood clot in a deep vein can break off and travel through the bloodstream. The loose clot is called an embolus. When the clot travels to the lungs and blocks blood flow, the condition is called pulmonary embolism (PULL-mun-ary EM-bo-lizm), or PE.
