    Deep venous thrombosis is a blood clot that forms within a deep vein, usually in the legs. Risk factors include trauma, immobility, surgery, cancer, genetic clotting disorders, pregnancy, and decreased blood flow. Symptoms are pain, swelling, and tenderness in the legs along with potential breathlessness and coughing up blood. Signs include swelling, discoloration, hard muscles, and dilated superficial veins. Diagnosis involves ultrasound, venography, or CT scan. Treatment consists of blood thinners, clot-busting drugs, or removing the clot surgically.
