Every year, many lives are impacted by deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition that, while common, remains largely under the radar for many. Deep-Vein Thrombosis Awareness Month serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of understanding, preventing, and treating DVT. Join us as we explore this significant health observance.

What is Deep-Vein Thrombosis Awareness Month?

Deep-Vein Thrombosis Awareness Month is a dedicated period aimed at raising awareness about DVT—a condition where blood clots form in deep veins, typically in the legs. This month is about educating the public on the risks, symptoms, prevention strategies, and treatment options for DVT. Through widespread knowledge dissemination, the goal is to reduce the number of undiagnosed cases and ensure timely medical intervention.
