Deep Vein Thrombosis

About deep vein thrombosis

Deep vein thrombosis is an infection of blood clots that develop in the veins of the skin in the legs or in the abdomen. Blood clots in the vein may also be called thrombocytosis. DVT can often be found in a deep leg vein, a large vein running into muscle in the legs and the lower leg. It also appears on pelvic bones. It can cause swelling and discomfort on the legs, which may also cause serious complications like respiratory embolism.

Deep vein thrombosis: How it occurs

Deep vein thrombocytosis occurs when blood clots form in deep veins in our bodies, causing recurrent bleeding. This may happen after blood flow stops or becomes blocked in one’s veins. Several risks have been identified for developing DVT, two of which are traumatic injuries. The symptoms of DVT are severe. When blood vessels get broken up it can pass through the bloodstream and prevent oxygenation into the lung. Even when blood clots cannot be clotted, it can permanently affect valves in the vein.

Thrombotic bleeding occurs when blood clots are formed in the leg and in the chest. Seek medical attention when you feel any sign that you are experiencing PE.
