Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) refers to the formation of a thrombus (blood clot) within a deep vein, commonly in the thigh or calf. The blood clot can either partially or completely block the flow of blood in the vein. DVT is more common in the elderly and the very overweight, but healthy young people can develop it as well. Some people are not born with vital blood-thinning substances and are therefore always more susceptible to blood clots. Some medicines, such as the contraceptive pill and HRT, can marginally increase the risk of developing DVT. Although anyone can develop DVT on a flight, certain people are more vulnerable, including pregnant women, people who are overweight, those whose feet do not reach the floor (because the seat puts more pressure on the backs of their legs), the elderly, smokers and those with coronary artery diseases and certain blood conditions.
You have varicose veins which are dilated superficial veins due to faulty valves. Varicose veins generally do not lead to DVT.
When travelling, all should move their legs frequently and contract their calf muscles by moving their ankles in all directions. The thigh muscles should be moved by moving the hips and knee joints.
