A member asked:
Can skinny jeans or tight jeans/trousers cause any health problems? such as blood clots or anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely.: Tight jeans should not cause any problems with blocking your circulation to cause clots. In fact, the tight jeans in a way act like a compression stocking and should increase the venous return unless they cut into your leg.
