Thrombophilia is a medical condition that increases the risk of abnormal blood clotting in the veins and arteries. This can lead to serious complications, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). Thrombophilia can be inherited, meaning it is passed down through families, or acquired due to other health issues, such as certain cancers or autoimmune disorders. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests to identify specific clotting disorders. Treatment may include medications like anticoagulants to reduce the risk of clots. Lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise and avoiding prolonged immobility, can also help manage the condition.
