Not all blood clots in the legs are dangerous, but they can pose significant health risks. Some clots may remain localized and resolve on their own without causing harm, while others can lead to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or travel to the lungs, resulting in a pulmonary embolism, which is life-threatening. It's important to seek medical attention if you suspect a blood clot, as early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications.

If you have a blood clot in your knee when pregnant can you get surgery on it and if you do not get surgery what will happen?
yes you can get surgery,if you don't you will get more blood clots and you could become paralized blood clots can kill you, the blood cant flow to the rest of the leg, so then it would turn black and die, but all that blood trying to flow that way would start getting bad since it wasnt getting filtered so that blood would become toxic and can kill you, you must take some blood thinner right away and be watched by a doctor for it to go away. blood thinner wiill normally get rid of blood clots with in a few hours. ------------------------- no that's not true. blood thinners cant get rid of blood clots within a few hours. that's 100% absolutely wrong. i just had a pulminary embelysm which means i have two blood clots in my lung. why it is dangerous what the previous answer said is incorrect. it doesnt cut off all blood flow to the leg, it just makes it harder which gives you a sharp pain. it wont kill your leg from making your blood toxic. if this does happen you don't got o a doctor, you need to go to a hospital. they run some tests, and usually a catscan to see if there are some blood clots, and if there are you will be admitted to the hospital. which this is dangerous during pregnancy there are some precautions they can take. bt you will typcially be administered a drip blood thinner like heparin till your blood level becomes therapudic, then they put you on an oral blood thinner such as cumadic. it typically means you have to be on this pill for 6 months give or take. blood clots can be the cause if you are taking birth control, or maybe recently had surgery. hope this helped rather than the answer previously which was incorrect. next time they should only give advice if they actually know what they are talking about.
