Thrombosis

Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, which can obstruct blood flow. This process is part of hemostasis, the body's natural response to stop bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. While hemostasis is essential for healing, thrombosis can occur inappropriately, leading to complications like heart attacks or strokes. Factors such as vessel damage, slow blood flow, or increased clotting tendency can promote thrombosis. It's important to manage these risks to prevent blockages that can harm vital organs.
