Hypercoagulable States

Hypercoagulable states are medical conditions where the blood has an increased tendency to form clots. Normally, blood clots help stop bleeding when injured, but in these states, the blood can clot more easily or excessively, which may block blood flow in vessels. This can lead to serious problems like deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or strokes. Hypercoagulability can be caused by genetic factors, certain medical conditions, medications, or lifestyle factors. Recognizing and managing these states are important to prevent dangerous clot-related complications.
