What can i do if my mother who is 67 years clots easily what could be the cause of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be checked ou: If you are speaking of deep blood clots in her legs or lungs, then these are very serious, potentially life-threatening conditions. Underlying disorders such as cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, and other conditions: like: a fractured bone, taking estrogen hormones, recent surgery, prolonged bedrest, vascular problems - can all increase the risk for getting blood clots.
