A member asked:

Could dvt be either phlebothrombosis or thrombophlebitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Definitions of words: Phlebothromobis =clotting in a vein. Thrombophlebitis = inflammation caused by the clot. So, the simple answer is yes because virtually all phlebothrombosis will cause some inflammation, some mild and some severe (redness, swelling, pain etc..) if you are having symptoms, consult your doc for an eval/treatment. Keep physically active to reduce your risk. Good luck.
