Thrombosis is when a blood clot forms inside a blood vessel. This clot can block the normal flow of blood and may cause serious health problems.

Hey,:
🩸 Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot (called a thrombus) inside a blood vessel, which can block the flow of blood. If it happens in veins or arteries, it may lead to serious conditions like stroke, heart attack, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). -

Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) within a blood vessel, which can obstruct the normal flow of blood through the circulatory system. It can occur in veins (venous thrombosis), such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs, or in arteries (arterial thrombosis), which may lead to serious conditions like heart attacks or strokes. The clot may stay in place or break off and travel to other parts of the body, potentially causing life-threatening complications like pulmonary embolism. Common risk factors include prolonged immobility, certain medical conditions, smoking, and inherited clotting disorders.
Thrombosis is a medical condition where blood clots form inside blood vessels, blocking or slowing blood flow and potentially damaging tissues and organs. It is often caused by damage to the vessel wall, sluggish blood flow, or an abnormal increase in blood clotting tendency. Symptoms depend on the location of the clot, and treatments include blood thinners, clot-busting drugs, or surgery to remove or bypass the clot.
