I had an abdominal clot, that formed after surgery that ended up in my lung, which was pretty scary. I had a previous clot in my leg the year before due to birth control and a long flight. Do they know that it started in the abdomin, or if it just traveled to the intestine? HI MY HUSBAND AS JUST HAD A BLOOT CLOT IN THIS SMALL BOWEL WHICH AS NEARLY TOOK ALL ALL THIS SMALL BOWEL AWAY HE IS VERY POORLY AND AS TO BE FEED BY A TUBE ITS BEEN A TERRIBLE TIME. HE WAS TOLD NOT TO SMOKE BUT HE DID AND THIS IS THE PRICE ONE PAYS

I have been on hormone replacement therapy for roughly 20 years and they are directly attributing my blood clot to this long-term use of HRT. I was lucky, in that I was diagnosed very quickly and managed to avoid surgery, although I did spend about 11 days in hospital. I am now on Warfarin and get my blood drawn every few days. I had a 3rd CT scan of the abdomen today and I am hoping that the clot has either gone or has severely thinned down. I am anxious to get the results of this scan. I consider myself very lucky to have come through this so well. My symptoms were: off my food for about a month and when I did eat, I couldn't consume very much, maybe just a couple of tablespoons. I then had severe abdominal pain and actually attended the Emerg Dept of our local hospital, was sent home, and then had to go back in again during the night. You should really listen to your body and if things are not right, make sure you get help quickly and don't take no for an answer. hi i'm curious, did your abdomin hurt due to the clots before your surgery?

My mother in law went in the hospital with severe abd pain and nausea and 2 days later she died. She was told through a ct scan that she had a blood clot in her artery and vein in her abdomen. She had a hx of 3 strokes and arrhythmia. The doctor could not operate for 2 days because of her being on blood thinners. She passed away before they could do the surgery. She was on coumadin for a few years and the doctor changed her medication to a new blood thinner that you only check the blood work fewer times than the coumadin. I think that is reason why she got the blood clot

Amey wrote: I have been on Warfin since May ’08. I had an abdominal blood clot that is being attributed to Birth Control Pills. It eventually killed off part of my small intestine and I had to have surgery to remove the small intestines. I am a 34 year old non-smoker. The majority of what I am reading are from clots in the legs. Is there anyone reading this that is on the drug due to clots found in the abdomen? I had this same thing happen. I was given a 5% chance to survive. I made it through and had to have 4 ft of my bowel removed and I am on coumadin for the rest of my life. I am also 34 and havent smoked in over ten yrs. We r still not sire what caused mine yet. I had been on the depo shot for nine months.

A good friend was 27, she suddenly developed a large blood clot in her neck-some verbal issues. Given heparin. 4 days later developed severe blood clots in her abdomin. Doctors at a major medical center had never seen anything like this. Her speen expoded, kidneys and liver damaged, severe abdominal bloating, Drs. did not put in a drain. She was on a respirator for 10 days, came out of it and was recovering. The clot in her head resolved-no brain damage. Then clots again blocked her kidneys,put on dialysis, all Drs. did was more blood thinners-no surgery. Back on respirator, 3 days later she died. Did have rheumatoid arthritis for the previous 2 years, and was on birth control. No other risk factors. Sounds like this is not that unusual (except that my friend died) I as a lay person found this post, why don't Drs. know anything about these abdominal issues?
