When a blood vessel is hurt, blood comes out. However, if the wound is small, the blood stops oozing out after some time. Platelets and clotting factors are responsible for clotting the blood and in turn stopping the blood flow. Platelets form a platelet plug at the wounded place to stop the flow. Thus it seals the wound. But if the plug remains immobile for the prolonged period, then, clots may form in the blood vessels. The clots may also get dislodged and flow in the blood supply. They may get into the important organs like heart, lungs or brain. Hampered blood flow can create many medical ailments related to these organs. Also, internal injuries may also cause blood clots. Blood thinners are drugs that prevent clot formation or dissolve blood clots in the blood supply.
