My friend's mother has blood clots in her legs. Is it serious? How is it treated? And can varicose veins turn into blood clots? Coz I have a very feint varicose vain on my one leg and Im scared it turns into a blood clot…
blot clots in the leg are VERY seroius.
the are also known as deep vein thrombosis and when one dislodges, it is on it's way to the heart and lungs where it kills you.
if caught in time, the dr will give the patient blood thinners which usually makes the clot dissolve.
No varicose veins dont turn into clots.
why dont you research it on the computer ?
A varicose vein doesn't "turn" into a blood clot. A clot comes from plaque, fats other things. And they are serious if they break loose they can go to the lungs and stop the flow of air, you'll die. See you doctor about treatment for clots and varicose veins.
