QUÉ es la TROMBOSIS VENOSA PROFUNDA (CÓMO SOLUCIONARLA)

A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious medical condition that occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) forms in one or more of the deep veins in your body, usually in the legs. DVT can cause pain and swelling in the affected area, but it can also occur without visible symptoms. The main concern with DVT is that the blood clot can break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism, a life-threatening complication. DVT treatment focuses on preventing the clot from growing, preventing it from traveling to the lungs, and reducing the chance of having another DVT. Treatment options include: Medications: Anticoagulants, also known as blood thinners, are the most common treatment for DVT. These medications decrease the blood's ability to clot and prevent the growth of existing clots. They do not dissolve an existing clot, but they can prevent growth and reduce the risk of more clots. Compression stockings: Wearing compression stockings can help prevent swelling associated with DVT. Vena cava filters: In some cases, especially if you cannot take anticoagulants, a vena cava filter may be recommended. This device is inserted into the large vena cava in your abdomen to capture clots and prevent them from reaching the lungs. Thrombolysis: In severe situations, a procedure called thrombolysis may be necessary, where medications are administered directly to the clot to dissolve it. This is done in a hospital setting. Surgery: In very rare cases, a surgical procedure may be necessary to remove the clot. Importantly, prevention plays a crucial role in the management of DVT. This includes staying active, avoiding long periods of immobility, and in some cases taking blood-thinning medications if you are at high risk of developing clots. If you think you may have a DVT, it is vital to seek medical attention immediately to obtain a proper diagnosis and begin treatment as soon as possible to avoid complications. 0:00 Importance of preventing DVT 0:10 What is deep vein thrombosis (DVT)? 1:35 What are the preventive measures? 4:42 What foods can you eat or avoid? 5:54 What is the treatment of DVT? 8:24 How long does DVT take to cure? 8:56 What happens if you DON'T do treatment? 9:46 Can you walk with a DVT? 10:31 Can you get a massage if you have DVT?
