Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) — The Silent Killer Explained

In this episode, we break down deep vein thrombosis (DVT) — a dangerous condition where blood clots form in the deep veins, usually in the legs. Often called a “silent killer,” it can go unnoticed until it leads to life-threatening complications like pulmonary embolism.

We explain what DVT is, how to spot the warning signs, and what you can do to prevent it. From long flights to surgery recovery, we cover common risk factors and share practical, doctor-approved advice.

You’ll learn:

• What DVT is and why it’s so dangerous ⚠️
• The most common symptoms (swelling, pain, redness, warmth) 🦵
• Who’s at higher risk (travelers, post-surgery, pregnancy, clotting disorders) ✈️
• How to prevent DVT (movement, hydration, compression, medication) 💧
• When to seek medical help immediately 🚨

Whether you’re planning a trip or recovering from surgery, this episode helps you understand how to protect yourself from blood clots.
