Dr. Xing Jian
Hello, clinically, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities typically presents with swelling and a sensation of tightness or pain in the affected limb—symptoms that persist and do not resolve spontaneously. These symptoms often worsen with walking or physical activity. In severe cases, DVT may compromise arterial blood supply to the lower limb, leading to ischemia. Please ensure adequate rest, avoid overexertion, refrain from consuming spicy foods, and avoid staying up late. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
