estrogen and dvt

Check with your doctor as to whether progesterone is risky for DVT. "Hormone therapy" is a broad term that covers both the use of estrogen and progesterone. But I believe it is estrogen that is considered problematic for the risk of deep-vein thrombosis, not progesterone, and lack of progesterone is what keeps women from getting a period when they are still getting a uterine lining (which is caused by estrogen).

I was on blood thinners at the time (warfarin) because of a DVT, and my doctors believe that the cyst was the cause of the DVT because it sat on the arteries and slowed the blood flow to the left leg. In 2010, I had bladder surgery to repair a prolapse. The surgeon found and removed a 7cm cyst on my last remaining ovary (the right). By June of 2010, I had create another.

Those are drugs that were primarily given to post chemo breast cancer patients since breast cancer is usually estrogen related. The correlation between breast cancer and estrogen related ovarian cancer is being studied, and the theory is if they work for breast cancer patients, they may work for estrogen related ovarian cancer, as well. For me, Aromasin has kept my cancer stable for the last 9 months.

I ran two half marathans in the past year. The most recent in May. In July I was diagnosed with DVT and PE. I am on Coumadin. I am having side effects which some doctors don't really recognize as side effect. However, there are many instances on discusson boards of people with the same side effects. They are headache, heart palpatations, light headedness, depression, not felling well, fatige. This month out of nowere I started getting really bad hot flashes.

I have been on estrogen replacement since my surgery in 1998. I still have moderate-severe hot flashes and they seem to be getting more intense with age. I switched from oral Premarin which covered me pretty well but I didn't want to be taking pills the rest of my life. Since then I have tried a variety of patches that are really not very effective on a regular basis and very expensive. At my age, what do you recommend. Is Premarin dangerous (risk of DVT).

It was not painful, just felt heavy. I thought it might be a DVT. It was late and I had no desire to go to the ER, so I took 2 aspirin and went to bed. The next morning, the swelling was gone, but I went to see my GP anyway. She sent me for an ultrasound, which showed nothing. A blood test showed that I had Factor V Leiden (heterozygous). I continued to take aspirin for two weeks and had no recurrence to date, despite several very long distance flights.

Also, there are specific medical conditions that may increase your risk of developing a DVT via these three mechanisms, such as congestive heart failure, severe obesity, chronic respiratory failure, a history of smoking, varicose veins, pregnancy and estrogen treatment. If you are concerned that you may be at risk due to any of these conditions, please consult with your physician.

Okay... so about a year ago i woke up with a terrible cramp in my leg... and i googled it and all this stuff about blood clots came up, had me terrified... :0 well anyways the constabt worry from it caused me to get anxiety attacks..which now i live with. and i have went to the er several times to get it checked out but no one ever seems to take it seriously!! thry just look at my calf abd say "nope" not dvt...or a bliod clot so its veryy discouraging..

When my check up came, they admitted me into hospital and took me off Xarelto and put me on Innohep injections for another 3 months. I felt these were working great but in last week I can feel a twinge behind my knee again. Luckily I've only 2 weeks to go until I see a specialist. Every morning when I wake up and try to move it feels like there's someone sitting on my pelvis and I'm ready to explode, but once I move and sit up the pain is gone.

hi , thank you 4 your reply , my doctor is not very good , the dvt was found by accident , i did not have any swelling in my leg at all , i went to the doctor with a constant headache , i have had this headache for 9 weeks now , it never goes , anyway since being on warfarin it has got steadily worse my ears pop and i have pain in my neck and shoulders and across my middle back , the bottom of my back is really painful, i went back to the doctors last week because both of my calfs were hurting

I agree with the other ladies. You need to call your dr right away to rule out anything serious.

but a health care provider told me when my dvt treatment clexane and warfarin was started that my headaches would go , and they did , i just hope they stay away

But then last night as I was walking I felt a mild sharp pain on the back of my left knee that lasted for a second then went away. I suddenly felt light-headed and somewhat dizzy and my heart started beating faster and I couldn't breathe like usual. My left leg felt really tired as I was sitting down. But today I feel fine. I don't feel any pain on my leg. I have already gone to an internist and he didn't think there was anything wrong and said it was very unlikely to be DVT.

Hi guys, just a question about HRT.............. anyone out there on it, and does it affect your MS drugs, and did it help?? I was prescribed Climara .05 in a patch once a week, and I'm scared to try it. I was just wondering if anyone out there has tried these drugs and what was your take on them. Any feedback would be appreciated.... Thxs..

I also forgot to mention that I have lost something around 40-45 lbs in the last 2 1/2 months. I was sick and had my gallbladder out and decided to turn my diet around. I eat and I eat healthy. My doc mentioned that this may affect how my body feels when I sleep. I'm not sure what he really means though.

Thank you so much for responding I feel somewhat better knowing that this is more common than they say. The injections were a bit of a fright. I did not expect it just two days after being told I was pregnant. I did exactly what you did I think which is why the pain went to my groin. Spent most of year finishing post grad not really moving about and then fully active. And I ignored thinking mm no just being overly anxious and annoying. And it just didn't go away and become worse.

If any such cyst ruptures or bursts it can cause calf pain, redness, swelling and can lead to deep vein thrombosis or DVT. It can compress vascular structures and lead to leg edema. Get an ultrasound done and do discuss your queries with the treating doctor. I hope it helps. Best luck and regards!

to the original poster, I am assuming you are on a synthetic patch either a combination of estrogen and progestin or just estrogen, probably equine, although some synthetic estrogens are made from plant sources but the way they are synthesized in the lab makes it so that they are treated in the body as a synthetic. This is where it gets even more confusing.

Anyways, if it grows more painful, it could be a sign of DVT and you should get it checked out as soon as possible

dvt however the most common diagnostic test is duplex ultrasound of the veins to determine the extent of dvt and the location. Those diagnostic features help to determine treatment. The risk of dvt is pulmonary embolus ( a piece of the clot breaks off and goes to the lung or heart) which can be fatal. Many people with dvt have no symptoms prior to PE.

Hello, For the past 1 1/2 months my leg has felt sore. It doesn't interrupt my day to day activities but its noticeable. There is no swelling, redness, or warmth. It seems to occur along my whole leg and is not constant or consistent. I am wondering what DVTs felt like for anyone who might have had them? How long can a DVT be there without being noticed? A bit of background on me. I am a 23 year old female, on birth-control, and a nonsmoker.

The danger is that the blood clot and break loose and travel to the lungs and cause a dangerous (and potentially lethal) event called a pulmonary embolism. The signs and symptoms of DVT are lower extremity swelling, redness, and pain and the signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism are chest pain and shortness of breath. Steps that can be made to reduce the chances of the formation of a DVT are to avoid prolonged periods of inactivity (for example, a long flight) and maintain good hydration.

The affected extremity becomes swollen painful and red.

Let them be rude or whatever, better to save your life. And btw I was released with leg pain and dvt from an icu ward when I had mine! Hard to believe. I didn't have the typical severe swelling and bruising etc. My mom also died from a brain aneurysm, this could have been prevented if doctors had done the appropriate tests.
