Blood viscosity

Common Questions and Answers about Blood viscosity

blood

Avatar m tn Testosterone causes an increase in the number of red blood cells, which alters the viscosity of the blood. The increased number of red blood cells causes the pressure to rise. It is advisable to have a hematocrit taken before starting testosterone treatments and every six months therafter. In some cases a blood donation is suggested every so often to bring the count down.
773214 tn?1295135069 All of his numbers were good but she said that it had increased viscosity! She suggested taking mucinex for 8 weeks and then the poor thing has to do another s/a! HAHAHAHA! Well, I told him that if the Mucinex works then we won't have to worry about it,,,but maybe his swimmers were getting stuck with nowhere to go! I REALLY would hope the problem can be fixed this easily. I have been trying to take it also to help with CM....these swimmers are going to swim freely yet!!

He had a ton of sperm (more than normal) but the viscosity was so thick the sperm couldn't break through to fertilize an egg. They had to wash it out (I think they said times) to thin out the viscosity in order to do an IUI. If you suspect it might be him make sure he keeps the boys cool, especially with summer coming.
Avatar n tn thank you for replying so quickly! not the best news but you have given me more information then any of the eye doctors or my cancer doctors combined. My last eye appointment they did a complete exam including pressure about a year ago and said everything was fine. Now that I'm diagnosed and have had the stem cell transplant my protein is no longer so extreme and my blood is back to low normal ranges. (well as much as can be with Multiple Myeloma) I get blood work every month.
Avatar n tn Going to a higher altitude increases the viscosity of the blood coupled with increased coagulability increases the risk of stroke and venous and pulmonary clots. There is no evidence the converse is true, but more likely coagulability decreases and less risk for pulmonary thrombosis (clot) pulmonary emboli (clots). However, you should be on anti-platelet medication if you have atrial flutter, but that would be with your doctor's advisement.
Avatar f tn When you have one of these, your viscosity is poor and sex is uncomfortable and your tissues get itchy and inflamed and there is a smell. Then you have to see a doctor to clear it up. Normal fluids do not smell bad, but they can vary in color and consistency, but viscosity is good.
Avatar m tn my wife an I are trying to conceive for a while but nothing so far and did the following blood test and semen analysis and i would like to get a feedback on my semen and blood test and how can i improve it for higher chances of increasing fertility. anything to worry about ?
Avatar m tn Blood pressure is also variable and can increase due to exercise where the cardiac output increases thus forcing more blood through the arteries or by altering the peripheral resistance. This occurs by vasoconstriction, increases in blood viscosity (thickness) and changes in shape or size of the vessels. The regulation of blood pressure is the responsibility of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems" Hope this provides a perspective and thanks for the question.
Avatar f tn My husband has sperm viscosity. What treatment do you advise. He is 47.
Avatar m tn When ejaculating, there is a strange sort of discharge after it that is completely clear but has the viscosity of semen. I had urine and blood tests and nothing wrong turned up. I have recieved antibiotics such as cyprofloxacin. What could this be? could it be an STD?
Avatar n tn It also causes an increase in red blood cell production in the marrow, increasing the viscosity of the blood and making one more likely to have a stroke. How much more likely is open to question. It is also very expensive.
Avatar f tn I have this strange skin on my upper lip. Its visible to other people so i want to know what it is and get treatment. http://imgur.com/comPLc8.
Avatar m tn My urologist consultation will be next week. So worried about that now. On the report, both concentration and total motile count is 0. viscosity is higher(3) than normal(0-2). It also said no sperm seen and sample contained moderate amount if debris, also needle and syringe used to reduce viscosity. Not sure if regular sauna visit will result in this, and worried if it is reversible or not. feel hopeless now.
190885 tn?1333025891 was that because i was so well hydrated from drinking lots of water? the viscosity of my blood was very thin....like watered down paint..........

Avatar n tn Changes in semen color, viscosity and volume from time to time are all normal and are nothing to worry about.
Avatar f tn is zip when relating to viscosity (the usual meaning of thinning a fluid ie physics is the degree of a resistance flow under applied force). If blood viscosity (thinning) were true then there would be less resistence against the friction of the artery walls and very quickly reduce systolic pressure and even pass through narrow openings.
