Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs, which can obstruct blood flow. This can lead to pain, swelling, and redness in the affected area. If the clot dislodges and travels to the lungs, it can cause a pulmonary embolism, a potentially life-threatening condition. Additionally, DVT may result in long-term complications such as post-thrombotic syndrome, which can cause chronic pain and swelling.

How long does it take for a DVT to absorb?

The absorption of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can vary significantly from person to person, but it typically takes weeks to months for the body to dissolve the clot completely. Factors such as the size of the clot, the individual's health, and the presence of treatment can influence this duration. In some cases, residual changes may remain even after the clot is absorbed. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential for managing DVT.
