Can cold weather cause blood clots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Immobility, trauma,surgery and other illness, numerous inherited medical conditions like protein S, and C deficiency, previous blood clots and age can increase the risk of blood clots or DVT. Cold weather is not a risk factor.
