Yaz Stroke Treatment Yaz stroke occurs when arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to your brain become clogged by wandering blood clots. The area of your brain that is supplied by the clogged artery is starved of blood, oxygen, and nutrients. Yaz DVT Side Effects Yaz birth control pills have been heavily marketed by Bayer Healthcare since winning FDA approval in 2006. As a result, the oral contraceptive has become a market leader in the U.S., reportedly capturing an 18% share of the market and generating $616 million in 2008 alone. Sales continue to be strong. Unfortunately, millions of women who are taking this drug are at risk of developing Yaz DVT (also known as deep vein thrombosis). Yaz Blood Clots Diagnosis Yaz blood clots have afflicted healthy women who have no prior history of abnormal clotting. The reason is due to the combination of estrogen and drospirenone (a synthetic progestin hormone) contained within Yaz birth control pills. Research has shown that drospirenone poses a much higher risk of developing blood clots than other hormones such as levonorgestrel. Yaz Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis Yaz pulmonary embolism poses a unique challenge for doctors. The condition is dangerous and can cause sudden death or long-term lung impairment. At the same time, PE is often difficult to diagnose. Symptoms are not always present, and can vary when they manifest. Yaz Pulmonary Embolism Symptoms Yaz and pulmonary embolism (PE) share a close connection. The link is due to a marked increase in the risk of blood clots when taking the oral contraceptive. In nearly 90% of diagnosed cases, pulmonary embolism is caused by a blood clot that forms in a deep vein of the leg. The clot breaks away from its site and travels to a pulmonary artery, creating a blockage.
