Thromboembolic disorders

Thromboembolic disorders occur when blood clots form improperly inside blood vessels. These clots can block blood flow, leading to serious conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs or pulmonary embolism if a clot travels to the lungs. Factors like prolonged immobility, certain medical conditions, or use of contraceptives can increase risk. Symptoms may include swelling, pain, or shortness of breath. Timely diagnosis and treatment with anticoagulants help prevent complications. Managing risk factors and early detection are vital to reducing the dangers associated with these disorders.
