coágulos en las piernas
Es un registro informal/lego, por tanto no usaría 'extremidades inferiores'. En inglés existe la expresión 'lower / down clots' pero en español el uso de la palabra 'abajo /zonas bajas' no resulta claro y no es natural
Creo que la pregunta del paciente apunta a las várices y trombosis
