A member asked:
Do you think that i could have to be hospitalized for a leg clot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: A clot in a superficial leg vein is not an emergency and can be treated with simple things like aspirin, warm compresses, or compression wraps. A clot in a deep vein is more concerning as it can become dislodged. Hospitalization may be required in this scenario.
