Overview
What to expect from DVT Treatment
DVT — a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the leg — needs timely treatment to prevent it from travelling to the lungs. MedVocs' vascular specialists assess severity through Doppler imaging and recommend the right combination of blood thinners and, in select cases, clot-removal procedures.
Ongoing monitoring and lifestyle guidance help reduce the risk of recurrence after initial treatment.

How to prepare (before surgery)
- Attend a pre-surgery consultation where your surgeon reviews your history, examines you, and explains the procedure and expected outcome.
- Complete any pre-operative tests advised — such as blood tests, ECG, or imaging — so you can be confirmed fit for surgery.
- Tell your surgeon about all medicines you take (especially blood thinners like aspirin), and any allergies — some may need to be paused before surgery.
- Eat lightly and stay hydrated unless your surgeon advises otherwise — prolonged fasting is usually not required.
- Arrange for a family member or friend to accompany you and take you home after the procedure.
What happens during the procedure — step by step
- 1
You are positioned comfortably and the anaesthesia is administered so you feel no pain during surgery.
- 2
The surgeon makes a small, precise incision and treats or removes the affected tissue.
- 3
Care is taken to control bleeding and protect surrounding healthy structures throughout.
- 4
The incision is closed with sutures or surgical glue and dressed, and you are moved to recovery.
Recovery & what to expect afterwards

- Most patients return to light daily activities within a recovery window of about varies by severity, depending on individual healing.
- You will receive clear instructions on wound care, medication, diet, and activity, plus a scheduled follow-up to review your progress.
Aftercare & precautions
- Take prescribed medicines (including any antibiotics or pain relief) exactly as directed, and keep the surgical area clean and dry.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and driving until your surgeon confirms it is safe to resume them.
- Watch for warning signs — increasing pain, swelling, bleeding, discharge, or fever — and contact your care team promptly if they occur.
- Attend all follow-up appointments so healing can be checked and any stitches or dressings managed on time.
