What is the timeline for the treatment of leiden factor v?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies: There is actually no treatment for factor v leiden. It is inherited and increases one's risk of a blood clot. Treatment is given either for a blood clot or for the prevention of a blood clot in certain circumstances, for instance during surgery or during pregnancy. Treatment is individual and depends on a number of factors that you would want to discuss with your doctor depending on the situation.

Depends: If there is a blood clot, it requires treatment there and then. A person with factor V Leiden mutation is a increased risk of blood clots and may require treatment depending on other health conditions. Birth control pills increase the risk. The mutation is a genetic defect and at this stage is not curable.

For many months now, I've had a non-stop tenderness with mild-to-moderate pain across my left ankle. There was no known injury or cause. It has worsened and is slightly swollen. It hurts to the touch, even during sleep, and also any time I flex it. My parents think it might be tendon-related. I'm wondering what sort of healthcare provider should I seek out to have this looked at? I feel a bit paranoid b/c i worry about blood clots (I have Factor V Leiden-heterogeneous) tenderness in ankle?
