Symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Deep vein thrombosis occurs without symptoms about 50 percent of the time. When symptoms do occur, they may include:

  • Swelling in one or both legs
  • Pain
  • Warm skin
  • Discoloration (bluish or reddish) of the skin

The symptoms of deep vein thrombosis may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
