Summer breaks are coming soon to many lucky people. For some, this means staying at home and relaxing, for others it means traveling to visit family and friends or to explore new places.
Of course, when we travel, we want to stay healthy so we get vaccinations if we need and we be sure to take necessary medicaitons with us, but what about unforeseen problems, like deep vein thrombosis (DVT)?
What’s that you say?
DVTs are blood clots that form in deep veins in your body – most commonly in the legs, but they could happen anywhere a deep vein exists.
