blood clots
Solidified vein blockages
Blood clots are semisolid masses that form when blood thickens and coagulates.
Clotting is essential for stopping bleeding from wounds, but clots that form inside blood vessels can be dangerous, blocking circulation and causing strokes or heart attacks.
The doctor prescribed blood thinners to prevent blood clots.
