DVT (deep vein thrombosis)

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein, most commonly in the leg. It can pose serious health risks, so it's important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect you might have DVT. Symptoms of DVT in the leg include swelling, pain, and tenderness. These symptoms can also appear in other areas, such as your arm or abdomen, depending on where the clot is located.
