Have you ever had a scab? Its like that, only instead of the red blood cells clotting on the outside, they mess up and do it inside.
Streptokinase and tPA are both thrombolytics, meaning that they break up clots.
Antiphospholipid syndrome is a type of autoimmune disease. It causes clots to form much more easily. This leads to deep vein thrombosis, stroke and clots in organs like the lungs or kidneys.
During a period, different types of clots that can occur include small clots, medium-sized clots, and large clots. These clots are typically made up of blood and tissue from the lining of the uterus.
Thrombolysis is the medical term meaning dissolving of a clot. Anticoagulation, a related term, means treatment to prevent the formation of blood clots. Drugs that break down clots are called thrombolytics.
Clots are not related to menorrhagia, although women with heavy cycles may pass clots.
An Anti Coagulant (Coumadin/Warfarin, Heparin, Lovnox, etc...)
Thombosis is the term for a single (one) blood clot. Thrombi is the term for several (or many) clots. It doesn't matter if there are only 2 clots or hundreds of small clots, the plural remains "thrombi". Thrombophelebitis is the inflammation in the legs caused from blood clots. Embolus is a single clot that breaks off and travels through the bloodstream to the heart, lungs, or brain. (Note: An embolus can also be caused by air, such as during an IV.) Emboli is the plural. With thombi and emboli, it is often impossible and technically it is meaningless, just how many "thombus" that form; treatment remains the same for 1 or hundreds.

Big clots would concern me. But I did have tiny little clots with my pregnancy at first and things turned out fine.
If a mosquito bites you on a scab you will not get blood clots. This bite may cause major irritation but it will not give you blood clots.
