what are the symptoms of early or mild phlebitis?

Question

What are the symptoms of having phlebitis?

Answer 1

Phlebitis: Tenderness redness and swelling.

Answer 2

Warmth: Phlebitis is an itis (inflammation) of a phleb (vein). Typically the symptoms are those of inflammation and include pain, swelling, warmth, and redness. Probably the earliest symptoms of phlebitis are warmth, itching (which is a mild form of pain), and aching. As things progress, the pain becomes worse and redness and swelling develop.

Answer 3

Yes: Ultrasound has been used safely in pregnancy for many years. There is no radiation as ultrasound uses sound waves to make its pictures. Here are trusted links about ultrasound from acog: http://bit.Ly/ptgqjx and from the march of dimes: http://bit.Ly/nxjiep.

Answer 4

Yes: There are no know side effects to ultrasound expose as long as the unit is observing current guidelines for power output of the ultrasound equipment, which they do if they are relatively recently manufactured and fda approved devices.

Answer 5

30 %: The risk of having one spontaneous premature delivery is about 10%. The risk of having a recurrence can be 20-30%. There are several new developments in the area. First the use of Progesterone in women at high risk for premature delivery has shown to decrease their risk. The use of fetal fibronectin has been useful in managing women with premature contractions and has decreased overtreatment.

Answer 6

Related to cause: If the cervix dilated very early (the old medical term is 'incompetent' cervix), then the risk is high. If there was an infection, the odds are not very high if the infection was treated completely. If there was a larger than normal uterus due to multiple babies or high amount of fluid, it is unlikely to recur. If the cause is unknown, then refer to answer by dr garvey. Also seek mfm consultation.

Answer 7

Quite high risk: The greatest risk factor for preterm labor and delivery, is a history of preterm delivery. The recurrance of idiopathic preterm delivery is quite high. Women who have experienced preterm delivery should consider treatment with 17 hydroxyprogesterone caproate in subsequent pregnancies for the prevention of preterm labor. This is the only drug currently fda approved for prevention of preterm labor.

Answer 8

13 weeks: Amniocentesis can sometimes be performed as early as 13 weeks, but usually more common after 15 weeks. Alternatively nuchal cord ultrasound for down's syndrome can be performed between 9 and 12 weeks.

Answer 9

14-15 weeks: Amnio carries procedure related risks including infection, amniotic fluid leak, vaginal bleeding and potential pregnancy loss. Amnio performed earlier than 14 weeks is associated with a significant increase in the complication rate and a significant increase in the risks of fetal limb defects. Amnio should not be performed less than 14 weeks; cvs can be performed for earlier genetic testing.

Answer 10

Yes: Male embryos will start developing there external structures, penis and scrotum, at about 16 weeks of gestation. Pregnancy ultrasound can usually detect these structure at about 20 weeks.

Answer 11

Depends on test: A well trained ultrasound technician using a high resolution probe can usually spot a mail appendage by 11-12 weeks. This requires that baby cooperate & let it be seen. It can be done on chromosome study done earlier but the risks of testing would not be reasonable if you are just curious.

Answer 12

Yes: It's best to diagnose and treat early for best results later on.

Answer 13

No: There is no cure for tourette syndrome. If the child is doing well then there is no reason to treat. If the child is having difficulty with peers or self esteem then medical therapy is of value. Don't undervalue hypnosis as a theraputic alternative for this disorder.
