Hum... Although the patch delivers more hormones, does it really mean that's what causes the blood clots? Women on the pill are also more prone to blood clots, espically if they smoke. I'm beginning to wonder if there's just a big clout about the patch because it's newer.
My uncle suffered from deep vein blood clots that went to his lungs, last summer. While at the hospital he was told that lots of people get these clots and never know because they don't have an issue. So, men and women alike get deep vein blood clots and never know, and never have complications. However, this does not mean they should be taken lightly.
