Usually worsens.: Dvt does usually worsen if left untreated and has the potential for serious complications such as pulmonary embolism and death. If there is any question of having a DVT then you should have a venous ultrasound and see a vein specialist or medical doctor. Do not delay in having a diagnosis made.
