[|Human|] I had a blood clot in my leg after a vein procedure with laser in March.  Subsequent tests showed I am positive for Factor V Leiden.  I still have a lot of swelling and continue to wear a compression stocking.  I cant figure out if the swelling remains from the vein procedure or the blood clot and Im afraid that I will have to live with this kind of swelling from now on.  Is that the case for Factor V?  Is this continued swelling to be expected?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for your query on Chat Doctor. Positive for factor V Leiden people are prone for clots formation in the blood circulation system. Symptoms will depend on the site and extent of involvement. Continue to wear stockings. Prophylactic use of anticoagulants like aspirin, warfarin may be required to prevent further clot formation. Prolonged sitting or lying on bed further increases the risk of clots formation. Consult the doctor for further advise on management. Hope I have answered your query. Regards.
