Thrombus Occlusion

I recently discovered a new medical acronym: “thrombus occlusion.” Let's look at what it means and what the health consequences may be if you don't pay attention to the symptoms.

**Thrombus occlusion** is the name that describes the condition when blood clots form in the body - accumulations of blood that block blood vessels. This usually occurs due to abnormal blood clotting or other factors such as injury, infection or chronic disease.

The appearance of a clotting clot is a dangerous phenomenon, usually causing an acute attack of cardiovascular disease, it is also called **arterial thrombosis**. As a rule, blocking blood clots cause chest pain, a feeling of suffocation, a feeling of “grinding” of the heart, sweating, palpitations, and lack of air. This phenomenon can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. This is why it is important to be aware of the symptoms of this condition and understand that even minor bleeding disorders can develop into blood clots. Although not a very common occurrence, the symptoms of blood clots can vary depending on where they occur and what kind of vascular damage is caused. However, they are usually associated with pain, numbness or coldness in the arm (or arm and leg, in rare cases) and may be accompanied by headaches or dizziness.

The medical term is clotting thrombus (t. obturatorius) - blockage or obstruction (complete blockage) of the lumen of an artery by a thrombus.

Causes

The cause of thrombosis can be: * slowing down of blood flow due to injury to the vessel by a mechanical agent, venous pathology, uterine fibroids, fractures, strokes; * compression of the vessel; * inflammation of the arteries; Severe physical activity or uncomfortable positioning can cause blockage.
