What is a Clot?
“Generally, blood is in liquid form. A clot means the formation of a lump or a thick mass, which means that a lump has formed in the blood. Blood clotting is necessary when a person gets injured, but this same clot can also become dangerous for a person.”
A clot (blood clot) is a thick, gel-like mass formed when blood changes from liquid to semi-solid.
Your body creates clots to stop bleeding when you get a cut or injury. This is normal and helpful
Is it Clot Dangerous?
A clot becomes dangerous when it forms inside a blood vessel without any injury.
In this case, it can block the flow of blood.
“Blood clotting is needed mostly when a person gets injured. During an injury, blood starts coming out of the wound, and to stop this bleeding, clotting is very important. This means the blood forms a clot to prevent further bleeding. But if this same clot forms inside the human body, it becomes very dangerous, leading to conditions like heart attack and stroke. To learn how to prevent heart attacks and strokes, you can get information from the links given: https://manbik.com/the-heart-health/ and https://manbik.com/heart-attack-stroke/.”
If blood flow is blocked:
- In the heart, it can cause a heart attack
- In the brain, it can cause a stroke
- In the lungs, it can cause a pulmonary embolism
A clot is a thickened bunch of blood that blocks or stops blood flow.
