What Is May Thurner Syndrome?
4. Deep Vein Thrombosis
May Thurner syndrome will mean that the flow of blood in the patient’s left leg is unable to flow freely back to the heart. The lack of blood flow can result in thrombosis, which is the formation of a thrombus, which is the technical medical term for a blood clot. A deep vein thrombosis in particular is usually found in the legs.
Deep vein thrombosis is a potentially very serious condition. It can cause some very unwelcome symptoms, while it can also lead to complications that can be life-threatening. It can usually be treated, but it is important that treatment is administered sooner rather than later.
