What is the probablity of a 17 yr old getting blood clots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on situation: Unless the 17 yo has an abnormality in the clotting protein system they are generally at low risk.However, anyone can increase their chances of a clot with prolonged periods of inactivity ( bed rest for extended period) , smoking, birth control pills etc.
