<li> long time periods &#111;&#102; immobility such as sitting for hours and hours in one position (long flight?)
<li>certain genetic problems such as a genetic defect that may alter the normal formation &#111;&#102; a chemical called factor V Leidin that helps the body to form clots so that blood clots are &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; likely to form. The FDA &#104;&#097;&#115; approved a DNA test for factor V Leidin and factor II 2 (prothrombin) genetic abnormality as you &#099;&#097;&#110; read &#097;&#116; FDA Approves Lab Tests for Genetic Clotting Risk.
<li>certain kinds &#111;&#102; birth control pills
<li> recent surgery
<li>trauma to the body
<li>chronic atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation &#105;&#115; a heart condition where the atria (upper chambers &#111;&#102; the heart) pump &#105;&#110;&#116;&#111; the &#108;&#111;&#119;&#101;&#114; chambers (the ventricles) in a &#108;&#101;&#115;&#115; coordinated fashion so that the blood may &#098;&#101; standing in place longer and thus increase the chance &#111;&#102; clotting</p>

A pulmonary embolism &#105;&#115; a blockage in &#097;&#110; artery in the lungs caused by &#097;&#110; embolus, a blood clot that &#104;&#097;&#115; traveled from another place in the circulatory system such as a vein in a leg &#111;&#114; in the pelvic area to the lungs to become a blood clot in the lung.

<p>The Symptoms &#111;&#102; a Pulmonary Embolism Blood Clot in the LungSymptoms &#099;&#097;&#110; include:</p>
<li>shortness &#111;&#102; breath
<li>chest pain
<li>fever
<li>cough
<li>coughing up blood</p>
<p>How &#100;&#111; They Test for Pulmonary Embolism and for a DVT Blood Clot The Ventilation Perfusion Test (The VQ Scan) and the Spiral CT ScanThe two most prominent tests for a pulmonary embolism are the VQ Scan and Spiral CT. Oxygen &#105;&#115; exchanged &#098;&#101;&#116;&#119;&#101;&#101;&#110; the air and the blood in the lungs. Thus &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; &#105;&#115; ventilation &#111;&#102; the lungs and &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; perfusion in the lungs by the blood. If &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; &#105;&#115; a blood clot blocking &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; part &#111;&#102; the lung one &#119;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; expect to &#115;&#101;&#101; a mismatch where &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; &#105;&#115; not &#097;&#110; approptiate blood flow to &#097;&#110; area &#111;&#102; the lung because &#111;&#102; the clot blocking the area.</p>
<p>The perfusion scan &#105;&#115; performed by injecting a radioactive substance &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; a short &#104;&#097;&#108;&#102; life &#105;&#110;&#116;&#111; a vein. The patient&#180;s lungs are scanned to detect the location &#111;&#102; the radioactive material as blood flows &#116;&#104;&#114;&#111;&#117;&#103;&#104; the lungs. The ventilation scan &#105;&#115; performed by scanning the lungs while having the person inhale radioactive gas &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; a short &#104;&#097;&#108;&#102; life. </p>
<p>The Spiral CT ScanThe Spiral CT Scan &#105;&#115; a newer and &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; sophisticated relation &#111;&#102; the &#111;&#108;&#100; CT scanner. It &#104;&#097;&#115; detectors that rotate rapidly in a spiral and &#099;&#097;&#110; image &#097;&#110; area much &#102;&#097;&#115;&#116;&#101;&#114; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#110; the older CT, so fast that it &#099;&#097;&#110; get the whole image while a person holds &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; breath. Original CT scanners &#119;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; spin 360&#176; in one direction and &#109;&#097;&#107;&#101; &#097;&#110; image , then spin 360&#176; in the &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; direction to &#109;&#097;&#107;&#101; another cross section. &#098;&#101;&#116;&#119;&#101;&#101;&#110; &#101;&#097;&#099;&#104; image, the machine &#119;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; &#115;&#116;&#111;&#112; completely and reverse directions while the patient table &#119;&#097;&#115; &#109;&#111;&#118;&#101;&#100; forward incrementally. The spiral CT scanner rotates continuously and &#099;&#097;&#110; scan entire anatomic regions in &#108;&#101;&#115;&#115; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#110; a minute.</p>
<p>Ultrasound and D Dimer<strong>DVTs are most commonly detected by the use &#111;&#102; &#097;&#110; ultrasound scan &#111;&#102; the legs &#111;&#114; affected area</strong>. Blood tests &#099;&#097;&#110; &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; give a &#103;&#111;&#111;&#100; indication that &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; &#105;&#115; a thrombosis which &#105;&#115; a fancy word for blood clot. A blood test for something called D Dimer measures the levels &#111;&#102; a by-product &#111;&#102; clotting material that &#099;&#097;&#110; &#098;&#101; &#117;&#115;&#101;&#100; to help rule &#111;&#117;&#116; a blood clot. Since &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#115; &#098;&#101;&#115;&#105;&#100;&#101;&#115; a dvt &#099;&#097;&#110; give a positive D Dimer test it can&#8217;t &#098;&#101; &#117;&#115;&#101;&#100; alone to diagnose a dvt. A positive D-dimer indicates the presence &#111;&#102; &#097;&#110; abnormally high level &#111;&#102; fibrin degradation products in the body and indicates that &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; &#104;&#097;&#115; been significant clot (thrombus) formation and breakdown in the body, &#098;&#117;&#116; it does not &#116;&#101;&#108;&#108; the location &#111;&#114; &#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101;. &#097;&#110; elevated D-dimer may &#098;&#101; due to a a number &#111;&#102; &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; conditions &#098;&#101;&#115;&#105;&#100;&#101;&#115; a dvt. &#098;&#117;&#116; a negative D Dimer &#105;&#115; &#117;&#115;&#101;&#102;&#117;&#108; in ruling &#111;&#117;&#116; a blood clot.</p>

<p>I&#039;m 28 &#097;&#110;&#100; I have &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; &#104;&#097;&#118;&#105;&#110;&#103; some menstrual issues. &#116;&#104;&#101;&#121; have gone &#111;&#110; &#102;&#111;&#114; awhile, &#097;&#110;&#100; my doc keeps telling me that its normal, but it &#100;&#111;&#101;&#115; not feel &#115;&#111; normal to me. I get major cramps &#105;&#110; my &#098;&#097;&#099;&#107; &#097;&#110;&#100; abdomen &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; I &#115;&#116;&#097;&#114;&#116; my cycle. &#115;&#111; &#098;&#097;&#100; that I &#101;&#110;&#100; up curled up &#105;&#110; &#097; ball &#105;&#110; bed. I &#097;&#109; &#116;&#097;&#107;&#105;&#110;&#103; BC, &#097;&#110;&#100; it &#117;&#115;&#101;&#100; to &#104;&#101;&#108;&#112;, but &#116;&#104;&#114;&#111;&#117;&#103;&#104; time, it &#106;&#117;&#115;&#116; progressively &#103;&#101;&#116;&#115; worse &#097;&#110;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#101; BC &#110;&#111; longer helps. &#115;&#111; I &#106;&#117;&#115;&#116; set up &#116;&#097;&#107;&#105;&#110;&#103; my BC &#115;&#111; that my cycle will &#115;&#116;&#097;&#114;&#116; &#111;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#101; weekend &#115;&#111; I don&#039;t have to &#109;&#105;&#115;&#115; work. Last night I &#115;&#116;&#097;&#114;&#116;&#101;&#100; my cycle &#097;&#110;&#100; &#104;&#097;&#100; horrible &#114;&#105;&#103;&#104;&#116; leg pain that &#107;&#101;&#112;&#116; me awake at night. It was almost &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101; &#097; pulling, nerve-like pain, that was &#097; first. I get constipated at &#116;&#104;&#101; &#115;&#116;&#097;&#114;&#116; of my cycle as &#119;&#101;&#108;&#108;. Additionally, sometimes I have pain or uncomfortableness during intercourse &#097;&#110;&#100; frequently get intense leg cramps &#105;&#110; my &#114;&#105;&#103;&#104;&#116; leg during intercourse . </p>
<p> I also have fairly moderate to severe psorasis, &#097;&#110;&#100; I was reading that &#116;&#104;&#101;&#121; &#099;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; possible &#103;&#111; hand &#105;&#110; hand, but it &#104;&#097;&#115; not &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; proven yet. </p>
<p> I have brought up my symptoms to my OB GYN &#097;&#110;&#100; he says that I&#039;m normal. I&#039;m &#106;&#117;&#115;&#116; wondering &#105;&#102; I should get &#097; &#115;&#101;&#099;&#111;&#110;&#100; opinion, or should I &#106;&#117;&#115;&#116; flat &#111;&#117;&#116; request to my doctor that I &#098;&#101; tested &#102;&#111;&#114; endo or something else???</p>
<p>I&#039;m assuming &#121;&#111;&#117; have told your doctor that your pain &#105;&#115; severe enough to interfere &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; your daily life &#097;&#110;&#100; normal functioning. &#105;&#102; an ob-gyn tells &#121;&#111;&#117; that&#039;s normal &#097;&#110;&#100; blows &#121;&#111;&#117; off, that&#039;s an ob-gyn &#121;&#111;&#117; should &#098;&#101; firing. &#115;&#101;&#114;&#105;&#111;&#117;&#115;&#108;&#121;. </p>
<p> Based &#111;&#110; your descriptions, it sounds &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101; endometriosis &#105;&#115; &#097; possibility that should &#098;&#101; investigated. I&#039;m including some links that may &#098;&#101; helpful.</p></p>

<p>I have &#104;&#097;&#100; symptoms for &#116;&#104;&#101; past two months that mirror a UTI.<br /> Lower Back Pain<br /> Pelvic Fullness<br /> Urinary Urgency &#097;&#110;&#100; Frequency<br /> Stinging &#097;&#110;&#100; Burning when voiding<br /> And sometimes not having much urine to match &#116;&#104;&#101; urgency.</p>
<p> My doctor put me &#111;&#110; a week of antibiotics &#097;&#110;&#100; everything &#115;&#101;&#101;&#109;&#101;&#100; to be cleared up for &#097;&#108;&#108; of two days.<br /> So I &#115;&#116;&#097;&#114;&#116;&#101;&#100; &#097;&#110;&#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; weeks &#099;&#111;&#117;&#114;&#115;&#101; of &#097;&#110;&#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; antibiotics.</p>
<p> The problem is I &#097;&#109; halfway through my second &#099;&#111;&#117;&#114;&#115;&#101; of Antibiotics &#097;&#110;&#100; I&#039;m not feeling much relief.</p>
<p> In fact I &#110;&#111;&#119; have leg pain, pelvic pain opposed to just pressure &#097;&#110;&#100; pain &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; orgasm.</p>
<p> So of &#099;&#111;&#117;&#114;&#115;&#101; I&#039;m worried I have ovarian or uterine cancer.</p>
<p> I&#039;m 18 by &#116;&#104;&#101; &#119;&#097;&#121; &#097;&#110;&#100; not sexually active&#8230;</p>
<p>I have no &#105;&#100;&#101;&#097;, &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#110; to say that at &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; age, either of &#116;&#104;&#101;&#115;&#101; cancers would be a total statistical rarity.</p>
<p> What kind of doc? &#105;&#102; he&#039;s not an ob/gyn, you might have fibroids, which &#097;&#114;&#101; benign but can get quite large &#097;&#110;&#100; wreak &#097;&#108;&#108; kinds of havoc.</p>
<p> Also, I assume &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; &#097;&#108;&#108; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#115;&#101; antibiotics you&#039;ve been given a CBC? &#105;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; white cell count indicates an infection, then it&#039;s &#112;&#114;&#111;&#098;&#097;&#098;&#108;&#121; not fibroids, but &#116;&#104;&#101; fact that it&#039;s not responding is why I asked.</p>
<p>any bleeding after orgasm?<br /> weight loss?<br /> anemia?<br /> not siginfyin for &#116;&#104;&#101; cancers<br /> check ur urine d/r &#097;&#110;&#100; c/s<br /> try checking &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; rbs: blood sugar<br /> plz mention &#116;&#104;&#101; chemical formula of &#116;&#104;&#101; prescribed drugs &#104;&#101;&#114;&#101;.<br /> thank you</p>
<p>Probably, at &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; age, a benign cyst. &#105;&#116; too can cause &#097;&#108;&#108; of &#116;&#104;&#111;&#115;&#101; symptoms.</p></p>
