What are the common blood clotting disorders?

Common blood clotting disorders include deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and thrombophilia. DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg. If this clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs, it can result in a life-threatening condition known as pulmonary embolism. Thrombophilia refers to a group of inherited disorders that cause blood to clot more easily than normal, increasing the risk of developing blood clots. Treatment for these disorders often involves blood thinning medications to prevent the formation of blood clots and reduce the risk of complications.
