Deep Vein Thombosis

Ja'Vonne Harley, Your Travel Pro is joined by Health Correspondent Yalanda Comeaux to look at Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot (thrombus) in a deep vein, usually in the legs. Clots can form in superficial veins and in deep veins. Blood clots with inflammation in superficial veins (called superficial thrombophlebitis or phlebitis) rarely cause serious problems. But clots in deep veins (deep vein thrombosis) require immediate medical care.

Ja'Vonne and Yalanda will look at the causes, the symptoms, care and how it relates to travel. They will also look at precautions you can take to avoid issues on long flights. From exercises, to what to wear and do for a safe trip. Join them for this informative show and also get the latest travel news and Ja'Vonne's Travel Minute.
