Abstract:A Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a clot that forms in a leg vein. A DVT can cause harm by obstructing blood flow to a limb or if a part of the clot flows to the heart or lungs. A DVT can be caused by some medical problems, medications, and long periods of inactivity. The risk of developing a DVT can be reduced by: 1) Occasional muscular activity; 2) Maintaining hydration; 3) Limiting alcohol and caffeine intake, and; 4) if indicated by a physician: support socks or stockings and blood-thinning medications.
