I have had polycythemia vera for 48 years. I have read that some people have a port, I couldn t have one because it would clot off. I have a fistula that was put in to draw blood from, but no doctor wants to try it. Have you ever heard of taking blood from a fistula?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You should not try fistula.  If you have polycythemia Vera then you should go for regular phlebotomy and remove extra blood.  It is very simple and cost-effective treatment. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
