A member asked:

What can cause white blood cells to be large in size?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

White cells include neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes and lymphocytes. Monocytes are larger than others. Any condition causing monocytosis will give large white cells and any immature cells in peripheral blood can also give large white cells . Usually leukocytosis which is increased number of white cells is a concern. Hope it helps.

When on my period, I sit and lie down a lot. Could this be a reason for getting a lot blood clots? Recently I have had a few very large ones (about the size of a gold ball) pass through when I go to the bathroom. Could it also be because of PCOS?
