Can i get a blood clot in my buttocks?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Blood vessels anywhere can clot. They usually do no. Bruising represents some extravasation of blood and clotting. Some females may have prominent pelvic varicose veins which can clot.

Sure: Any blood vessel can clot. If you are talking about a dvt, there are no true deep veins in your buttock (however the iliac veins are deep to the buttock, inside the pelvis, and they can contain dvt).
