Not to my knowledge. I am not an acupuncture provider.
Depending on medication involved as well as previous surgeries
But yes
If you have blood clots you should go to an MD for imaging and medication. Blood clots can be very dangerous and you should consult with a specialist.

Acupuncture can be very helpful for whole body health and overtime could help with the underlying cause of your imbalance
It may help with pain, but will not remove the blood clots.
Blood clots are best treated by a medical doctor.
Yes, acupuncture, massage, and herbs can relieve your blood clots gradually. It will take a bit of time to get rid of these, you better try.
I have not seen any studies that show that acupuncture can help with blood clots. There may, however, be herbal formulas that can, so I would check with your local practitioners and ask them if they have treatments that can help. But I would also work with your western MD to treat them as they can life threatening and are not something to be taken at all lightly.
No, in fact I would not have acupuncture if you have a blood clot.

Acupuncture treatment is not recommended when blood clots are diagnosed.

Yes, acupuncture can heal up blood clots.
If the clots are relatively small and are causing pain/discomfort, then acupuncture can help to relieve the pain. It's unlikely that acupuncture will make the clots disappear.
