COPD :: Agent Orange (vietnam) / Blood Clots
Jul 7, 2012
Is anyone else "out there" suffering with blood clots in/on your lungs and you served in VietNam during the years that they were spraying Agent Orange on the foliage? I served in VietNam during those years, have been diagnosed with COPD and am having a lot of trouble with blood clots in/on my lungs. My VA representative has told me if I can find other Veterans who are suffering as I am I might be able to help my loving and very patient wife after I leave this earth through VA survivor benefits. I am hoping a lot of people will answer quickly because I don't feel that I have much time left.

My Boyfriend and I have had sex many times; But the last two times he has been bleeding really bad while we have had sex and after we are done he will go in the restroom to pee and when he dose he has large blood clots for a few days to two weeks. I am very scared and he refuses to go to the Dr.s unless he is kicking and screaming.

In January I had polyps removed and an IUD put in. There haven't been any issues until now. Tuesday evening/early Weds morning (about 5 days ago on the 15th) I noticed some breakthrough bleeding. My period had just ended on the 6th. It continued on and I started to have some slight cramping so I called my doctor and got an appointment. He took a look and said my IUD seemed a little lower than usual (that was Thursday). I made an appointment for an ultrasound and thought everything was ok. My bleeding was getting heavier and heavier, but a regular tampon managed it. In the afternoon I was out and I stood up and apparently I had bled through my tampon and underwear and it was coming down my leg. I called my doctor and they said keep and eye on it and if it continued to be like that or if it was a pad an hour go to the hospital. But it seemed to slow down. Today, however, it seems I have been clotting even more. And I just felt what I thought was a really large gush of blood, I went to the restroom and it was a huge blood clot. About an inch or so long and it wasn't flat nor did it just fall apart when I grabbed it with a tissue. What should I do? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Hi. I’m a 43 years old, diagnosed with three small fibroids over a year ago. I had very little clotting at the time and my gyno placed me on Rx and Anemagen to decrease my flow. It worked so well that I missed a period. That was alarming to me and I went back to my doctor who changed my Rx to Necon. Now, my periods returned but I am experiencing extremely huge blood clots! After I went back to the gyno he prescribed me Feogen but in this menstrual cycle, the clot was about 3-4 inches in length and about 3 inches wide and very thick! What is wrong with me? Is this normal? I’m really concerned! Is there anybody who can help me?

I have been bleeding now for past 4 weeks. The last week has seen me lose giant blood clots and I mean lots of them. In fact I've had to stay off work these last few days as I need to be near a loo. I feel a bit shaky but I put that down to the amount of blood I've lost. I'm really worried I'm going to need a hysterectomy. Has anyone else experienced this?

As I've said in previous posts been diagnosed with non allergic rhinitis... I KNOW I'm allergic to something! Feb to Sept mucus green or yellow and severe cough every year resulting in laryngitis for 6 weeks each time. Anyway.... this year things have taken a turn and I have now been coughing up blood for the past 2 months mainly at night time. Sometimes fresh blood but mostly in green phlegm. I'm having a second chest CT scan tomorrow including abdomen and pelvis as first scan showed query scarring and infection. Should get the results tomorrow afternoon. Obviously scared. Coughing up blood has nasty indications, but I am pretty sure it's to do with this rhinitis...

I use to have irregular periods, but they have become regular over time. I normally have light the first day or two then it becomes heavy and lasts a week. Last month my period was due April 26th, and I ended up getting it on April 30th, I woke up and my stomach was VERY tight, I had hardness under my belly button for a few weeks before period, it was VERY light at first, light pink, and in some mucus. The next day I did not have normal clots like I get which are darker red and heavy. I got these very small light pink clots that lasted a day, and only showed up when I wiped. I had normal clots show up in toilet twice and that is it. The next few days it got lighter, and it stopped on May 4th, I stopped wearing pads on the 3rd day it was so light. I never have periods that light and that short. My nipples are still sore, my stomach still hurts and is a little tight still, have horrible acid reflux, and gas. What could this be? My friend and boyfriend both think I am pregnant, but I don't think I am. I took a test over a week ago and it was a BFN.

I have had normal regular periods for almost ten years. Every month I will be on for around five days, bleeding normally with normal red blood. I have been on the pill on and off for about 4 years. Once I stop the pill for my seven day break, I usually come on two days after.
The past couple of months it has taken me about four days to come on and when I do I am not really bleeding, I am only really bleeding as I actually go to the toilet and when I do it is thick dark brown clots. I am not leaking normal blood if that makes sense?
Is this normal or should I have it checked out?

I'm 15 year old girl and i started to notice orange cum for about a week. My period starts in a week but I've been researching online and I definitely know that I'm not pregnant. I don't feel any itching/burning and other things like that. I need to know if I should go get it checked out because i am worried it will be something fatal.

I am 31 female and have IBS with constipation. This plus childbirth has given me some nasty hemorrhoids. This is the first really painful ones I have ever had so I went to urgent care and was sent home with Lidocaine ointment and hydrocortisone suppositories. Last night in a nice soaking bath I farted. I thought "wow that didn't hurt. This stuff works wonders". Then I smelt an awful smell and looked to see orange oil floating in the tub. My whole body smelt awful. It was so greasy and hard to wash off in the shower I took.
Today it. Happened again. Can it be the suppository? I don't eat fish or cashews (allergic to cashew) all that is all the internet had to offer.

My period was a week late and now I spotting like a bright orange color. It is like red orange. It isn't all the time though like only when I go to the restroom and wipe myself. I wear a pad just incase I start bleeding but nothing is on the pad. I don't know what is wrong with me I am scared. The one thing I want is a child, but I think that something is wrong with me and I won't be able to have one.

I've been taking Levlen Ed for 4 months now and haven't had a problem with it. I've been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend. I was due to start taking the sugar pills the first week of February(from the 1st until the 7th) but had a holiday planned so I skipped it and just started on the next pack of active pills. I started taking the sugar pills of the next pack on the 22nd of February. I got my "period" but it was a lot lighter and ranged from orange-brown to bright red and then sometimes black. I have been taking the pills perfectly and I haven't had any symptoms of pregnancy, so the chances of being pregnant are incredibly low. Is there anything else that could be causing this?

I am currently taking the Rigevidon combined pill on its own and have been for over a year now. I am in a very sexually active relationship and we don't use protection due to me being allergic to the latex and also the fact im on the pill. I am unfortunately one of those very unreliable people when it comes to the pill... I don't take it at the same time every day and I have also missed a day every now and then and as I was rather uneducated on the pill I never set correct times I was meant to come on my period. My boyfriend first came in me the day I was due off my period (1st november), then again on the 6th november, 7th november (by accident) and then on the 17th of november. I know that I forgot to take my pill on the last time he came in me. Anyways, because of being slightly worried I decided to do a pregnancy test late at night on friday the 13 november (negative results ( was very happy) but I've been having a few pregnancy symptoms lately like slight stomach cramps, tender breasts, frequent urination and feeling like im going to be sick in the morning but I haven't actually thrown up yet. So I decided to research and learnt that i had done the test a bit too early and decided to do another test again on the 20th november (in the afternoon) again a negative result. I was happy again that I had a negative result but on the saturday 21st november I went to the toilet around 9pm ish and noticed 3 dark brown spots in my knickers but there wasn't anything coming out when I wiped... Despite being confused I decided to ignore it but then today on the 23rd november when I wiped I found some orange/pale pinkish discharge when I wiped so I had a shower and now there's nothing there...
