Possible Cause of Blood Clotting
In medical terms, the possible cause of blood clotting is called thrombosed hemorrhagic stroke. This term refers to the situation in which a blood clot forms in a vessel which leads to death or permanent disability of the person involved.
The clot that forms on one of your arteries or veins can cause your blood to clot in other parts of the body. There are two types of clotting which are blood clots and venous stasis. Venous stasis occurs when the clot breaks up in the vein and travels into the blood stream.
Blood clots are caused when your blood vessel walls become stiff and hardens. As a result, the blood starts to clot in a particular area of the blood vessel. In order to prevent clots from forming, you should avoid getting any type of injuries to the blood vessels and try to stay away from high blood pressure.
Blood clots are not dangerous if left alone; however, this condition requires immediate treatment. Even minor injuries such as cuts and scrapes that will heal with time can cause you to get a clot. The best way to treat your clot is to rest it at least 2 hours after it breaks up. If your clot continues to bleed for more than two days, you should call 911 immediately.
The main reasons why a blood clot may form are because of high cholesterol levels and a build up of plaque in the arteries. Plaque builds up on the arterial walls and causes them to harden, becoming like a sponge which cannot carry enough blood. When this happens, blood will start to flow backward and this is where a clot forms.
In order to prevent clots from forming, you need to lower your risk factors such as having a high cholesterol level and smoking. If you are already taking medication for high cholesterol or have just stopped using tobacco, you should stop immediately and try to keep blood cholesterol under control.
To treat your blood clot, you should take anticoagulants and aspirin. However, if these two medicines do not help, you should consult your doctor or a doctor that is experienced in treating blood clots.
To prevent clotting again, you should avoid smoking. If you do smoke, you should stop immediately and see your doctor for advice on how to stop smoking safely.
Bleeding is often caused by many factors, such as a blood clot, but there are ways to prevent this type of problem by staying healthy. If you want to prevent a blood clot, talk to your doctor, ask questions and do not hesitate to try new things.
