What is Mondors Cord??!

Im new to this forum and recently started my research, just wondering what mondors cord is..can anyone help please?!! xxx

Hi, i was wondering the same thing so googled it and heres what it said:

Mondor’s Cord is inflammation of a blood vessel. It isn’t considered a “risk”, per se. It heals on it’s own, and causes no permanent damage.

The small vein that’s visible is called Mondor’s Cord. Mondor’s Cord is not a complication. It resolves on it’s own. Ibuprofen and warm compresses may be used for discomfort, which is usually fairly minor. One or more “cords” may be present, and is may also be seen in the arm (extending from the armpit to the elbow).

If you get Mondor’s Cord, you should consult with your surgeon before taking Ibuprofen, which thins the blood. Some surgeons don’t want their patients taking anything that thins the blood for a few weeks after surgery, while other surgeons are more lenient.

Thanks Khanni…saved me typing that……how are you coping…..are you stressing yet…..what time are you in tomorrow

Thanks khanni, good to know it heals by itself..guess its like a bulging vein then really? xx

i think so, it’s nothing to worry about ladypank – i’m on the verge of having a panic attack right now i hope everything goes to plan xx
