PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the world comes together to observe World Thrombosis Day on October 13th, 2023, Inovia Vein Specialty Centers proudly joins the global campaign to raise awareness about the prevalence and risks associated with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). DVT is a common yet often underestimated condition that can have serious consequences. Inovia Vein Specialty Centers is dedicated to educating our communities about DVT, its signs, symptoms, and treatment options.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) occurs when blood clots form in the deep veins of the legs or other parts of the body. These clots can be life-threatening if they break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism. It is crucial for individuals to recognize the signs and symptoms of DVT, as early detection and treatment can make a significant difference.
Common signs and symptoms of DVT include:
- Leg Swelling: One of the most noticeable signs of DVT is swelling in one leg, often accompanied by pain, tenderness, or a feeling of warmth in the affected area.
- Pain or Discomfort: People with DVT may experience pain or discomfort in the leg, which can range from mild to severe.
- Redness and Warmth: The skin over the affected vein may appear reddish and feel warm to the touch.
- Visible Veins: Sometimes, the veins in the affected leg may become more visible than usual.
- Difficulty Walking: DVT can make it painful and challenging to walk or put weight on the affected leg.
Inovia Vein Specialty Centers is taking an additional approach to raise awareness about DVT by hosting Community Block Parties in Bend, Oregon, and Portland, Oregon. These engaging and informative events are designed to bring our communities together while promoting understanding and prevention of DVT.
