Blood Clot in Extremities at Southeastern PA Easton
A blood clot (aka thrombus) occurs when the platelets in your blood build up and block your blood flow. Depending on the size of the blood vessel in which it occurs, the blood clot may slow the flow of blood through the vessel or cut it off all together. Clots that form in the lower extremities often don't show symptoms until they dislodge. Clotting in the extremities may not seem serious, but since your whole circulatory system is connected, a clot anywhere can quickly spread to the brain, heart, or lungs. Prescription drugs are available to regulate the blood and prevent future clots.
