Yaz Dvt Side Effects
Yaz birth control pills have been heavily marketed by Bayer Healthcare since winning FDA approval in 2006. As a result, the oral contraceptive has become a market leader in the U.S., reportedly capturing an 18% share of the market and generating $616 million in 2008 alone. Sales continue to be strong. Unfortunately, millions of women who are taking this drug are at risk of developing Yaz DVT (also known as deep vein thrombosis).
Because Yaz combines estrogen with an artificial hormone called drospirenone, it sharply increases the risk of blood clots. Yaz DVT is a condition in which these clots form within a deep vein (typically in the lower leg). If the clots break loose, they can travel with your bloodstream toward your lungs. This puts you at risk of suffering pulmonary embolism.
There are several ways to treat Yaz DVT. Below, we’ll focus primarily on how a vena cava filter is used to catch blood clots before they reach your pulmonary arteries. We’ll also take a brief look at other forms of treatment.
How A Vena Cava Filter Is Used
The treatment of choice for blood clots caused by Yaz birth control pills is anticoagulant therapy. This is administered with heparin or warfarin (Coumadin). If these anticoagulants are ineffective in preventing further clotting, or your body tolerates them poorly, a vena cava filter can be used.
Your inferior vena cava is the largest vein in your body. It is the passageway through which blood from your lower body is returned to your heart. Blood clots that break loose from within a deep vein can travel through the vena cava toward your heart and lungs. If the clots block a coronary or pulmonary artery, they can cause heart attack or pulmonary embolism, respectively.
A vascular surgeon can position a vena cava filter in order to catch emboli (traveling clots) as they make their way toward your heart and lungs. The surgeon will insert the filter by using a catheter, and threading it to an optimal site within the inferior vena cava. The filter is shaped liked an umbrella and functions like a metallic net. It catches clots and prevents them from causing life-threatening arterial blockages.
In the past, such devices were permanent. Today, retrievable filters can be used as a temporary solution while other forms of treatment are ad

ministered. However, there is a risk of injury during retrieval if cells of the vena cava wall have overgrown the filter.
Other Forms Of Treatment For Yaz DVT
As noted, doctors prefer to treat Yaz DVT with anticoagulant therapy (i.e. heparin and warfarin) before exploring other solutions. That said, if blood clots are large, or they pose serious health risks, thrombolytic medications may be used to dissolve them. Because such medications pose a risk of severe bleeding, doctors will typically reserve their use for situations in which pulmonary embolism is a significant threat.
In rare cases where a dangerous DVT is unresponsive to non-surgical therapy, surgeons will recommend venous thrombectomy. This is a procedure during which the offending clot is removed from the deep vein. It is only used when there is a risk of tissue death and gangrene.
It’s important to underscore the risk of blood clots when taking Yaz birth control pills. Many women who have never experienced clotting in the past have developed clots after taking this oral contraceptive. If you have suffered abnormal clotting, DVT, pulmonary embolism, or other dangerous Yaz side effects, you may have the legal right to file a claim.

The Pros And Cons Of Garlic Use: Tips For Safe Use
Garlic is a popular culinary herb, and used in many cultures around the world. It’s also a popular health supplement. What could be wrong with that? That question begs another; how much do you know about garlic and the allium family?
Pro:
Garlic may help lower blood pressure. Some reports indicate that this herb dilates blood vessels, which allows both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Con:
If you have high blood pressure, garlic alone is unlikely to be the sole solution to the problem. It should still be safe to use garlic supplements or eat foods with garlic in it, however.
Pro:
Garlic may act as a blood thinner. Chemicals naturally found in garlic reduce the clotting ability of blood. When you have plaque buildup in the blood stream, it encourages clotting, but the garlic may prevent these clots.
Con:
If you have a condition that affects your blood clotting factors, taking garlic may make the condition worse. Also, if you are taking blood thinners, the addition of large amounts of garlic may cause the blood to be too thin. If you are scheduled to have surgery, stop garlic supplements at least two weeks before it, and inform your doctor.
Pro
Garlic may have a weak antibiotic effect. The sulfur compounds in garlic may have a similar effect as weak penicillin, which may help you get over some infections.
Con:
It’s still only a weak effect. If the infection is serious, prescription antibiotics may be required.
Pro:
Candida and other yeast infections may respond to garlic. An antifungal attribute in garlic may help clear up yeast infections, including thrush.
Con:
It kills more than just the yeast. The “good bacteria” in your alimentary canal may also be killed off. If you are taking probiotics or other supplements to increase these bacteria, you should not take it at the same time as the garlic.
The following information should also be considered when choosing garlic supplementation. Garlic may have some ability to prevent certain cancers, however there is some debate. Parsley may help deal with “garlic breath,” and ginger may ease stomach upset should you choose raw garlic.
To be honest, raw garlic is the best form for all of the remed
1000
ies mentioned above. It can be minced and put in bread. Mince the ginger and mix together if that method upsets your stomach. Always check with your doctor before starting a new health supplement.
Garlic affects more than just humans. All alliums are toxic to cats, and that includes garlic. Invertebrates may also be killed by proximity to garlic. In a garden, that might be good, but in a fish tank it might not be so good, particularly if you have snails.
In companion planting, garlic tends to be useful, but there are a few plants that do not thrive well when planted near garlic. Beans, peas and potatoes do not like growing near garlic and may be stunted.
