Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can cause various sensations in the affected leg, including pain, swelling, and tenderness. Some individuals may describe the feeling as a burning sensation, particularly if there is associated inflammation. However, not everyone with DVT experiences the same symptoms, and some may have mild or no symptoms at all. If you suspect DVT, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly.

Why DVT occur more frequent in left leg?
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs more frequently in the left leg primarily due to anatomical and hemodynamic factors. The left femoral vein crosses beneath the right common iliac artery, which can lead to increased pressure and turbulence, making it more susceptible to clot formation. Additionally, the left leg often has a longer venous return pathway, contributing to stasis and promoting the risk of thrombosis. These factors combined increase the likelihood of DVT developing in the left leg compared to the right.
