Yaz DVT

One of the serious conditions caused by blood clots is deep vein thrombosis, or DVT. DVT normally affects the lower leg and thigh area. Essentially, DVT is a blood clot, also known as a thrombus that forms in the veins in that area.  This clot can stop the flow of blood not only to the legs and lower limbs but also to other parts of the body. This is because the clot can break of and travel through the bloodstream to your vital organs including your brain, lungs and heart. What starts off as a painful leg cramp can actually result in a heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism (PE) and even death. And, in many instances, it all starts off with a Yaz blood clot.

Symptoms of DVT and Yaz

One of the scariest things about Yaz and DVT is that many women will not even notice that there might be a problem until it is too late. You may feel swelling or pain in your lower legs or you may not. Often women will simply pass off the pain as a sore muscle from exercising or a pressed vein from wearing their jeans too tight. Many women who do not have a history of blood clots and who live an active lifestyle have no reason to suspect DVT. However, if you are taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella, then you are at risk.

Some of the symptoms to be on guard for include swelling in the legs or along the veins in your leg, pain or tenderness, redness or increased warmth. Many women will not have any of these symptoms or the pain/redness/swelling will go unnoticed. However, if you do notice any of these symptoms and you are taking Yaz, then it could indicate a blood clot from Yaz and the more serious condition of DVT. You should contact a doctor right away.

How is DVT from Yaz Diagnosed?

A doctor will be able to determine if you are suffering from DVT from Yasmin through the following diagnostics:

• X-rays
• Doppler ultrasound
• D-dimer blood test
• Plethysmography

It may seem unnecessary to worry your family and consult a doctor about some mild swelling in the leg. However, if you are taking Yaz birth control, then you are at an increased risk of blood clots as well as DVT from Yasmin.
