Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
Blood clogs symptoms are:-
Pain on walking or running ( when more blood is needed for muscles to work properly). And this pain is resolved if patient sits calm for sometime.

Its because, the partial blockage of the blood thigh arteries isn't supplying enough blood to the thigh muscles which are active and need gush of blood. pain is due to ischemia(lack of blood supply to muscles).

Once patient sits down, pain relieves as arteries are patent enough to supply blood to resting muscles.

Another symptom of blood clots clogging aortoiliac vessels in the area is decreased blood flow to penis and weak erections.

Consult your physician for a doppler study of peripheral vessels.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
 

Best Regards!
