In Basavanagudi—near Lalbagh and National College Metro—and across Jayanagar and JP Nagar, many people dismiss calf aches or ankle swelling as “just tiredness.” Sometimes, though, these are warning signs of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)—a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the leg, that needs timely medical attention.

30-second summary
-
What DVT is & why it happens: A blood clot forms in a deep leg vein—risk rises with immobility (desk work/flights), dehydration, surgery, pregnancy, or clotting tendencies.
-
Best treatment options in Bangalore: Evidence-based medical therapy, compression, and—when indicated—minimally invasive endovascular procedures as day-care.
-
When to see Dr. Sravan (Basavanagudi): Persistent calf pain, swelling, redness/warmth, skin colour change, or symptoms after long travel or surgery—early care improves outcomes.
What is Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)?
DVT is a blood clot in a deep vein, most often in the calf or thigh. It may cause pain, swelling, and skin changes; in some cases, a part of the clot can travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism), which is serious. Early diagnosis helps relieve symptoms, reduce complications, and lower overall treatment cost.
Bangalore lifestyles—long commutes, desk-based IT work, and dehydration—can increase risk, especially when combined with other factors like recent surgery or hormonal changes.
Symptoms of DVT
-
Leg swelling-often one-sided, around the calf or ankle
-
Deep, cramping calf pain that worsens on standing or walking
-
Red or discoloured skin over the painful area
-
Warmth and tenderness along the vein
-
Tightness/heaviness in the lower leg
-
Worsening night cramps or discomfort after long sitting/standing
If two or more signs persist > 2 weeks, consult Dr. Sravan in Basavanagudi, Bangalore.

-
Medical factors: recent surgery/trauma, active cancer, pregnancy/post-partum
-
Genetic/clotting tendencies: family history of clots
-

Best Treatment Options in Bangalore with Dr. Sravan
Treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. As one of Bangalore’s leading vascular specialists, Dr. Sravan evaluates your risk, ultrasound findings, and overall health before recommending the most suitable option.
Anticoagulant (Blood-Thinner) Therapy
First-line for most DVT cases to prevent clot growth and new clots. Tailored dosing with careful follow-up. Many patients can be treated as day-care/outpatient with regular monitoring.
Compression Therapy & Mobility Plan
Medical-grade compression stockings to reduce swelling and pain, combined with a graduated walking routine and hydration goals—especially useful for desk workers and frequent travelers.
Endovascular/Minimally Invasive Options (When Indicated)
Select cases—extensive clot, severe symptoms, or risk to limb—may benefit from catheter-directed thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy. These are minimally invasive and often day-care, helping faster relief and earlier return to routine.
Most patients walk home the same evening and resume light routine within a few days.
Cost note (Bangalore, approx.): Medical management varies with drug choice and duration; minimally invasive DVT procedures may start around ₹40,000–₹75,000 (approx.) depending on severity, devices, and stay. You’ll receive a transparent estimate after evaluation.
