Hi
In the veins are the blood without oxygen and there is no pressure. Stents should be avoided in the women veins. Informed me that my doctor and doctors in Moscow.

This is interesting. Doesn't have anything to do with 2x prevalence?

Hi Rici,
Are they saying.. woman are more likely to experience low blood pressure and veins with low blood pressure are not a good place for stents?

I think this is really interesting.

I was just considering why it is that many more women appear to clotting than men. I thought may be I had just missed something but perhaps I haven't. If anyone can shed some light?

I will have a research myself.

Another blood clotting are women. It is related to the menstrual cycle.
It has nothing to do with blood pressure.

A medical/family history should be undertaken before venoplasty and stenting. This would indicate whether a clotting time test is needed. Using medicines should not be guesswork, there are lots available for different people.

Hi my Friend.

Is it possible that Dr Simk does not know it. Strange or even more...

Lots of warm greetings

Thanks, that is helpful.

markw, i agree 150 percent. unfortunately for us that had the procedure already it was not the case. you would think that that would be the norm since clots happen in veins say concerning the kidneys or legs. .

was wondering, if it has to do with the menstrual cycle what about women like myself that have had hysterectomy yrs. ago or those that have gone through the change of life??

Run the numbers. More women than men have MS. Is it any wonder statistically more of them are clotting?

Hi
I heard that, the diameter of veins in women is 30% smaller.....

This not just a matter of sex but many other factors which impact clotting. Read up on how diet impacts clotting if you doubt my advice:

I am sorry for those like Blossom who did not know in advance of their treatment. Its one of the issues of being an early adoptor. Please remember the surgeons/IRs are learning about venoplasty in a different population than previously treated with angioplasty. Patients can help by writing up their medical/family history before travelling for their therapy.

Kind regards,

I would definitely like to hear an opinion on how a menstrual cycle or menopause would affect the possibility of clotting. I am only 30 but had a hysterectomy 6 years ago due to the fact that I had fibroids and clotting issues (I have a very low clotting factor).

Hi Mark, And thank you for the information you provided here. You mentioned 'see how diet impacts clotting', could you be more specific, or provide some links? I would be very much interested. Thank you.
