DVT
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a medical condition characterized by the formation of blood clots (thrombi) in the deep veins of the body, typically in the legs. These blood clots can partially or completely obstruct blood flow, leading to symptoms such as pain, swelling, and redness in the affected limb. DVT can be a serious condition, as blood clots have the potential to break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a life-threatening condition known as pulmonary embolism.
Dupuytren's contracture
Dupuytren's contracture is a progressive hand condition characterized by the thickening and tightening of the connective tissue beneath the skin of the palm and fingers. This thickening forms nodules or cords that can gradually pull one or more fingers into a bent position, making it difficult to fully extend the affected digits. Dupuytren's contracture typically develops slowly over time and can cause functional limitations in hand movement and grip strength.
Dry mouth
Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, is a condition characterized by a lack of sufficient saliva production in the mouth. Saliva plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health by lubricating the mouth, aiding in chewing and swallowing, neutralizing acids, and preventing tooth decay. When saliva production is reduced or absent, individuals may experience discomfort, difficulty speaking and swallowing, and an increased risk of oral health problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.
Dry lips

Dry lips, also known as chapped lips or cheilitis, is a common condition characterized by dryness, flakiness, and discomfort of the skin on the lips. Dry lips can be caused by various factors, including environmental conditions, lifestyle habits, and underlying health issues. While often a temporary and minor concern, severe or persistent dry lips may require medical attention to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.

Dry eyes
Dry eyes, also known as dry eye syndrome or keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common condition characterized by insufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eyes. Tears play a vital role in maintaining eye health by lubricating the ocular surface, reducing friction with blinking, and protecting against infection. When tear production or quality is compromised, individuals may experience symptoms of dryness, irritation, and discomfort in the eyes.
Down's syndrome
Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder characterized by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. This additional genetic material affects the development of the body and brain, leading to a range of physical and cognitive impairments. Individuals with Down syndrome typically exhibit distinctive facial features, intellectual disability, and may have associated medical conditions affecting various organ systems.
Double vision
Double vision, medically known as diplopia, is a visual disturbance characterized by the perception of two overlapping images of a single object, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Double vision can occur in one or both eyes and may be constant or intermittent. It can significantly impair visual function, affecting activities such as reading, driving, and hand-eye coordination.
Dizziness
Dizziness is a common sensation characterized by a feeling of lightheadedness, unsteadiness, or a spinning or whirling sensation. It can be caused by various factors, including inner ear disturbances, changes in blood pressure or circulation, neurological conditions, or underlying medical issues. Dizziness can significantly impact balance, coordination, and daily activities, and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, sweating, or visual disturbances.
Dissociative disorders
Dissociative disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by disruptions or disturbances in consciousness, memory, identity, perception, or sense of self. Individuals with dissociative disorders may experience a disconnection between thoughts, emotions, sensations, memories, or aspects of identity, leading to a sense of detachment from reality or self. Dissociative symptoms can range from mild and transient to severe and chronic, significantly impacting daily functioning and quality of life.
