A member asked:

Can being obese alone cause dvt im really overweight but very active i don't sit down all day but i'm worried i am trying to lose weight ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Risk factor: Obesity is just a risk factor. Although, you are at greater risk of DVT but that doesn't mean you'll ever have one. The cardinal feature of DVT is swelling of one leg.
