"I had a recent miscarriage and would like to be pregnant again, but my gynecologist only advised me to consult a specialist because I have factor V from Leiden, do I really have to wait?" Dr. Michel Schadeck, phlebologist, answers Elodie's question.
The answer of Dr. Michel Schadeck, phlebologist
- Factor V Leiden is a genetic disorder, part of thrombophilias, promoting faster blood coagulation. It causes clots that can clog a vein. It affects about 5 to 9% of the population and is screened through a biological assessment. Venous thrombosis (a clot) or phlebitis during pregnancy or after delivery may reveal this abnormality.
- Your disease having been detected, a pregnancy can be considered, but under clinical supervision and, most of the time, under anticoagulant cover.
The mothers' point of view
- "I had problems with coagulation that led to miscarriage I consulted a hematologist who put me on treatment: aspirin and subcutaneous injections in the thigh.My pregnancy is very monitored, I'm in the 5th month and everything is fine. " Jessica
