If one of your legs and thighs has sudden appearance of swelling, redness and raised temperature and you feel difficulty while walking, this may be an indication of a very serious condition called Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). The lack of exercise, avoidance of long walk, sitting long hours in front of computers and use of contraceptives or hormones by ladies, do play a significant role in the recent rapid rise in incidences of Deep Vein Thrombosis. Besides, use of fashionable high-heeled sandals and shoes do increase the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis especially among modern, educated and young ladies.
