Blood clots form when blood thickens and clumps together, blocking normal circulation.
Clots can form due to injury, surgery, or conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or atrial fibrillation.
Signs of blood clots include swelling, pain, redness, or warmth in the affected area.
If left untreated, blood clots can lead to life-threatening conditions like stroke or pulmonary embolism.
Blood thinners, compression stockings, and sometimes surgery are used to treat blood clots.
