If blood clots are big (larger than quarter) and occur frequently then there might be any underlying medical conditions such as fibriods, endometriosis, adenomyosis, perimenopasue, menopause, stress, weight gain and blood dyscrasias.

I've been taking folic acid and multivitamins for three months now, and my husband just had minor piles surgery. Should we be careful about anything during his recovery or with my supplements? I'm a bit worried about how this might affect us

Folic acid supplements are safe, and your husband should follow post-operative care for piles. No major precautions are needed unless advised by the surgeon.
