Hereditary thrombophilia

Hereditary thrombophilia is a genetic condition that increases a person's risk of forming abnormal blood clots. These clots can develop in veins or arteries, potentially leading to deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, which can be serious. The condition is caused by inherited differences in blood clotting factors that make the blood more prone to clotting excessively. Many people with hereditary thrombophilia may not experience symptoms, but it’s important to be aware of this risk, especially if there is a family history of blood clots. Management often involves preventive measures and medical guidance to reduce complications.
