Dress is the general term for a garment: a black dress. Costume is used of the style of dress appropriate to some occasion, purpose, period, or character, especially as used on the stage, at balls, at court, or the like, and may apply to men's garments as well: an 18th-century costume.
The average amount of time to stay in the hospital after DVT is 5 to 7 days. Most people need to take blood thinner drugs for 3 to 6 months after they leave the hospital. If you have a very high risk of getting more clots, you may need to take a blood thinner for the rest of your life.
A blood clot is an organized clump of hardened blood. Normal blood clotting helps stop blood loss, such as when you get a minor cut or scrape. However, a blood clot that forms inside a blood vessel (artery or vein) or in the heart is called a thrombus and is a serious medical condition. Blood clots can form in the superficial veins just below your skin, or they can form in the deeper, large veins (deep vein thrombosis).
