The primary goal of DVT treatment is to prevent the clot from growing and causing complications. Treatment options include:
Anticoagulants: These medications, also known as blood thinners, prevent new clots from forming and existing clots from growing. Compression Stockings: These help reduce swelling and prevent clot formation by improving blood flow. Thrombolytic Therapy: In severe cases, medications may be used to dissolve clots. Surgery: Rarely, surgical intervention may be required to remove a clot.
