Dvt: Certainly this raises concern with regards to the question of a deep vein thrombosis. Several risk factors, use of birth control may lead to a deep vein thrombosis. These assisting to do is to be evaluated and have a venous duplex ultrasound which will answer the question of whether or not to have a deep vein thrombosis.
