Yaz PE

Pulmonary embolism is an incredibly serious lung condition which is caused by a sudden blockage in a lung artery. Pulmonary embolism from Yaz is a reported side effect from using the birth control pill Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella. Yaz side effects include PE, deep vein thrombosis, heart attacks, strokes and liver conditions.

Pulmonary Embolism Problems

If medical treatment is not administered immediately, PE can lead to serious health concerns including death in some instances. Other PE problems include:

·            Low oxygen levels in your blood which can lead to health conditions such as low blood pressure

·            Permanent damage to the affected lung that can make it hard to breath in the future

·            A problem in other organs as well as your body is not getting enough oxygen.

Your lungs are a very important part of your body’s system; if they are damaged from PE and Yaz, then your entire system could shut down or suffer.

Treatment for Yaz Pulmonary Embolism

When it comes to treating PE from Yaz, it’s important to prevent the clot from getting bigger and stop any new clots from forming. Your treatment will depend on the severity and size of the clot and how much damage it is doing to your lungs.

Some of the types of Yaz PE treatment include:

• Blood thinning medication called anticoagulants – these are used to thin the blood and stop clots from forming or getting any bigger. However, they do not break up clots that are already formed. Anticoagulants are normally taken in either pill form or through an IV tube. Two of the most common blood thinning medicines are warfarin and heparin.
• Blood clotting medication called thrombolytic – these are normally used in emergency situations and will treat very large clots.
• Surgery to remove the clot
• A catheter to break down the clot
• Vena cava filter – this is inserted into your vein and stops any blood clots from traveling into your lung. It can prevent PE from happening but it will not stop other blood clots from forming in your body.
• Wearing compression stockings, applying heat, taking walks – all of these are minor treatments to stop with the swelling and pooling of blood in your legs.

Treatment will usually last for three to six months and sometimes longer depending on the severity of your Yaz PE conditions. It’s important to discuss your options with a doctor as PE treatment comes with some serious side effects as well, including internal bleeding.
