After a clinical examination and evaluation of the symptoms, a DVT specialist near you will advise investigations such as blood tests including PT, D Dimer test, duplex ultrasound to check blood flow through veins, Venography to visualize the blood flow through the veins and locate the site of the clot, and MRI scanning.

The signs of deep vein thrombosis include:

• Swelling of the legs
• Pain and cramping of the legs
• Warmth in the affected area
• Change of the color of the skin on the affected leg etc.

Deep vein thrombosis can lead to a medical emergency known as pulmonary embolism in which the blood clots dislodge from the deep veins and make their way into the lungs. Pulmonary embolism is life-threatening and needs immediate treatment.

When DVT is diagnosed early and treated, life-threatening complications can be prevented. But if a pulmonary embolism occurs, it is a medical emergency that can be fatal.

The questions that one needs to ask a DVT specialist include: 

• How serious is the problem? 
• What kind of medications including blood thinners are being given? 
• How long should the medications be continued? 
• What are the precautions to be taken while on treatment? 
• How often should investigations be done? 
• When should my next checkup be? 
• What are other treatment options available?
• What are the signs of Deep Vein Thrombosis? 

Depending on the severity of the condition, some blood clots that are small can resolve, but larger clots will almost always require treatment to prevent complications.
