Patients with severe varicose veins should be aware of their increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).Since varicose veins are near the skin’s surface, most patients won’t experience DVT. However, in some cases, a blood clot can develop in the deep veins and cause death. About 200,000 Canadians experience DVT each year. What is Deep Vein Thrombosis?If a person has DVT, it means a blood clot has formed in a deep vein, typically in the legs. Whereas Superficial Venous Thrombosis (SVT) occurs in a vein near the skin’s surface and isn’t always serious, DVT is dangerous and requires immediate intervention. If the clot in the leg breaks loose, it can travel to the lungs, get stuck and prevent blood flow. When this happens, a person may experience shortness of breath, sharp pain in the chest or coughed-up mucus. This is called pulmonary embolism (PE) and it causes more deaths in North America each year than breast cancer, AIDS and highway deaths. In fact, for elderly patients, PE was associated with a 39% one-year mortality rate. Even when not life-threatening, DVT can lead to long-term problems, such as damage to the affected vein and pain or swelling. You should always go to the ER if you think you’re showing any DVT signs or syptoms. DVT is caused by improper blood circulation and clotting. This may be a result of: - Blood clotting disorder— Some inherited conditions make blood clotting more likely, especially when the patient has additional risk factors.
- Bed rest— A period of inactivity can make circulation difficult. This may include bed rest due to surgery, injury or paralysis. Long flights, car rides or even working a sedentary job can also contribute to blood clotting.
- Conditions that increase risk of blood clotting— This includes some forms of cancer, bowel diseases, obesity, heart failure and a family history of DVT.
Symptoms of Deep Vein ThrombosisIt’s important to note that DVT can occur even if a person doesn’t experience any symptoms. However, some people experience the following symptoms in the affected leg: - Pain (often a soreness beginning in the calf or thigh, sometimes increasing in intensity)
- Swelling
- Feeling of warmth
- Red appearance or a rash
How to Prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis During a period of inactivity, there’s a few things you can do to decrease your risk of DVT: - Exercise legs during long plane or road trip
- Consider compression stockings to improve blood flow
- If bed rest is advised, ask your doctor if anticoagulant medication (blood thinners) are recomme
