Can you tell me what to do about birth control and blood clots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clarify question: If you have had a deep venous thrombosis or other clotting disorder then you are not a candidate for birth control methods that contain Estrogen. If you are referring to passing clots during heavy menstrual cycles then birth control can be used to help control them.
