    hi fat slob! (although I would prefer to call you something nicer! ^-^)


    factor V is a protein in the blood that is needed for normal clotting to happen when you're injured.


    thrombophilia is an inherited disorder of blood clotting."factor V" is the name given to a specific gene mutation that causes thrombophilia,(sometimes hypercoagulation or a prothrombotic state) is an abnormality of blood coagulation that ups the risk of thrombosis (blood clots in blood vessles).


    from what I understand there is no real treatment for thrombophilia, unless it is caused by something like nephrotic syndrome (who's symptoms include, very high levels of protein in urine, a  condition called proteinuria, swelling around eyes,hands,and feet, and high cholesterol)


    so, if you can treat the underlying cause, then you can treat the thrombophilia. 


    I really hope this helps you and I hope you get help for your condition soon!
