Is there a link between passing large menstrual clots and having increased risk of clots in your veins?

Dr. Ronald Krauser, Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University Answered Jan. 18, 2014

Unlikely. If you have a history of both you should consider a coagulation workup. Otherwise, the relationship is unlikely.
