"Estrogen causes the bone marrow to form more red blood cells, which then increase the chance of blood cells clumping together and forming a clot." 2. "Estrogen increases vascular vasoconstriction, which restricts blood flow and increases the opportunity for blood clots to form." 3. "Estrogen causes several clotting factors to increase in the blood, which increases the chances of a blood clot occurring." 4. "Estrogen decreases the force of blood flowing through the blood vessels, which increases the chances of blood clot formation."
