Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is typically managed rather than "cured," as the focus is on preventing complications such as pulmonary embolism and ensuring the clot resolves over time. Treatment often involves anticoagulant medications, which may be prescribed for several months, depending on individual risk factors and the severity of the condition. The clot can gradually dissolve, but complete resolution may take weeks to months, and follow-up with a healthcare provider is important to monitor recovery. Lifestyle changes and ongoing preventive measures are also essential to reduce the risk of recurrence.
