Alternative Treatment For Hypercoagulability With Herbal Remedies
ABSTRACT
Blood clotting is a natural mechanism of the body. It is a very important process to cease the excessive bleeding. There are various components and mechanisms that are responsible in cessation of bleeding and the process of clotting. When there is disturbance or abnormality in any of the components involved in the clotting mechanism, a variety of bleeding and clotting disorders develop. These disorders may result in increased time in clot formation or decreased clotting time. These conditions will further give rise to blood clotting related difficulties. One such condition is hypercoagulability. It will be discussed along with its features, causes, diagnosis and management in the following article.
INTRODUCTION
Hypercoagulability is a term coined to represent a condition in which the patient suffers from excessive tendency of clot formation. The formation of clot is a mechanism involved in the normal physiology of the body. It helps in the cessation of bleeding. When the normal mechanism of clotting is hindered and the body’s tendency of forming a clot increases, the condition is known as hypercoagulability. This would lead to the formation of clots more frequently. These blood clots can travel through blood into any part of the body. This can be a very dangerous situation. This clot can travel to various organs such as heart, brain, etc. This will lead to the obstruction in normal working of the body.
CAUSES
There could be various causes and risk factors underlying the condition of hypercoagulability such as family history, prolonged bed rest, prolonged hours of sitting, pregnancy, cancer, excessive use of hormonal pills, etc. Smoking also makes the person more prone to the condition of hypercoagulability.
SYMPTOMS
The symptoms of the condition of hypercoagulability will differ from patient to patient. The presenting features will also depend on the location where the clot is present. When the clot is in the heart or lungs, it may cause chest pain, discomfort in the chest and upper body, breathlessness, etc. When the blood clot obstructs a vein to kidneys, it may lead to kidney failure. This could also result in various symptoms such as decreased frequency of urine, blood in the urine, pain in lower back, etc. If the blood clot is located in the lower part of the body, it may lead to pain, swelling, warmth and redness. When there is blood clot in any area of the brain, it will result in various difficulties such as dizziness, changes in the behavior, paralysis, headache, etc. The most severe consequence of a blood clot located in the brain is stroke. The condition of hypercoagulability can be very fatal hence it should be managed timely and properly.
DIAGNOSIS
The condition of hypercoagulability is diagnosed through the clinical examination of the patient. It includes thorough observation of the presenting features of the patient. There may be requirements for various blood examinations. It will be important to check the platelet levels in the blood.
TREATMENT
The management of hyper coagulability will depend on the sex, age and condition of the patient. It will also depend on the number, site and size of the clot. The treatment of hypercoagulability will include administration of various medicines such as blood thinners or anticoagulant drugs. The patient is advised to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle. He/ she should strictly restrict smoking.
AYURVEDIC ASPECT
Hypercoagulability can be correlated to Rakta vaha strotas dushti (abnormality in the channels through which blood flows) in the Ayurvedic perspective. The yakrita (liver) and pleeha (spleen) are known to be the moola (base) of the Rakta vaha srotas dushti (the channels through which blood flows). There can be various causes that can result in vitiation such as intake of excessive oily, hot or unhealthy food articles. Excessive exposure to sunlight and wind can also lead to Rakta vaha srotas dushti (abnormality in the channels through which blood flows). This results in various types of disorders such as skin diseases, bleeding disorders, jaundice, anemia, etc. There are various Ayurvedic preparations effective in managing the condition of hypercoagulability such as Gotu Kola capsules, Arjuna capsules, Chandraprabha vati, Curcumin capsules, etc.
