DVT and PE: If people with deep venous thromboses and pulmonary emboli receive anticoagulation treatment, haven't suffered large clots that could impair their respiratory function, and don't have an underlying cancer, they should have a normal life expectancy. A hematologist can tell you how long to stay on active treatment and what can be done to prevent additional clots in the future.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

No: Having a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism) and leg (deep venous thrombosis) shouldn't stop you from living your life, as long as you are appropriately being treated with the blood thinning medications.

why is the provera drug so dangerous? i was given medroxyprogesterone and i'm scared to take it. risks of blood clots in legs, lungs and brain etc. is there a natural way to increase progesterone? desperate for a family but don't want to die?

Accepted Answer

: You are way overreacting to a very safe drug taken by millions of women, mostly with no side effects at all. Discuss with your gyn or whoever has prescribed it for you. All hormonal contraceptives have the same list of side effects and all are rare. Also look at it this way:  the same side effects occur a hundred times more commonly in pregnant women. So the pill reduces your risk of problems.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

PE: A blood clot from your leg, also called a DVT or deep vein thrombosis, that travels to your lung can be fatal.  The clot in your lungs is called a pe, or pulmonary embolism.

Question 10

what can cause blood clots in the lungs or legs?

Accepted Answer

Smoking: Smoking is one cause, varicose veins, swelling in the lower legs, trauma, being stagnant i.E sitting on a plane for a long trip., and oral contraceptives are the most common causes for the clot to go to the leg. Once in the leg, they can dislodge and go to the lung then the clot would be called a pulmonary embolism. (pulmonary = lung, embolism = moving clot.).
