Women and blood clots: Are we missing the warning signs?

Women can face unique blood clot risks across different stages of life, from hormonal contraception and pregnancy to the postpartum period and menopause. But there are still gaps in recognition and diganosis. In a special World Thrombosis Day episode of the ISTH Pulse Podcast, host Dr. Geoffrey Barnes is joined by experts Dr. James Douketis and Dr. Angela Weyand to ask an important question: Are we missing the warning signs? Together, they discuss where progress has been made, where gaps remain and what healthcare professionals can do to better recognize and address thrombosis risks in women. The conversation also explores broader challenges in women’s health, opportunities to improve research and clinical care and why this topic is at the center of the World Thrombosis Day campaign.
