Q:

Are there complications from having a stent put in?

A:

There are two main potential complications from having a stent put in. Due to the fact that a stent is a foreign body, you can have scar tissue build up and actually clog the stent. In the unfortunate case that a stent damages the artery it is inserted into, it can cause bleeding which can lead to blood clots at the site where the stent is implanted.

Q:

Is there a specific test for PCOS?

A:

No, there is no specific test to diagnose PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). It is considered a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that your doctor will rule out other causes of your symptoms until he/she arrives at PCOS as the only logical diagnosis. Your doctor will consider your symptoms along with your history, and may do an ultrasound or other blood tests to help with the diagnosis of PCOS.

Q:

What should I watch for after a wound has been repaired or treated?

A:

The two main complications you should be watching for after a wound are scarring and infection. If your wound has received proper treatment and has been closed (if need be), the chance of a scar is minimized. If your wound starts to become red or you see any kind of discharge from the injury site, you should return to your doctor for follow-up care in case it is infected.
