Yaz Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Yaz birth control has recently been linked to several serious medical conditions including deep vein thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, is a swelling in the vein caused by a blood clot. DVT usually starts as a painful red spot on the leg. However, this painful red spot can actually turn into a serious health condition. If the blood clot in your thrombus moves into your heart, brain or lungs, then you could be facing a heart attack, a stroke or pulmonary embolism.

The makers of Yaz birth control, Bayer Pharmaceuticals have faced a lot of public scrutiny for not informing patients of the serious health conditions and connections between Yaz and deep vein thrombosis, among other health concerns. This disregard for information and neglect of patient’s rights has led to several lawsuits against Bayer Pharmaceuticals across the United States. If you or someone you love has taken Yaz birth control and have suffered from a stroke or any other complication, then it is important that you seek legal representation to obtain the financial compensation you deserve.

Yaz Birth Control DVT

Yaz birth control has been linked to deep vein thrombosis due to the synthetic hormone drospirenone or DRSP. DRSP, which is present in Yaz birth control, can thicken the blood, causing clots to form. One of the most common places for a clot to form is on the leg in the thrombus. Women who are taking Yaz birth control are automatically at risk for blood clots and DVT. However, many women were not aware of this when they began taking the drug as Bayer Pharmaceuticals failed to mention this serious Yaz health concern in their advertising or through their packaging.

Yaz Deep Vein Thrombosis Risks

You could be at risk for DVT and not even realize it. DVT starts off as a swelling or pain in your leg. You may experience redness or increased warmth or odd bumps on your leg. If you do notice any pain or any spots and are taking Yaz birth control, then speak to your doctor immediately. He/she will be able to perform tests to determine if the bump is deep vein thrombosis and what steps need to be taken to ensure your health is not at risk. Left untreated, DVT can easily turn into a serious health condition including a heart attack, a stroke or pulmonary embolism.
