Possible complications with MTHFR gene mutation?

Thanks for your question THolland, any time a patient has a finding that may impact bleeding risk, I recommend consulting with a hematologist prior to your surgery. This specialist is trained in different types of bleeding and clotting disorders and will be able to give you the best idea of your risks with elective surgery, as well as make recommendations about how to mitigate those risks.Hematoma after breast biopsy is not uncommon, but can raise concern about bleeding risk for future procedures.In your case, MTHFR mutation may actually increase your risk of having blood clots after surgery. I highly recommend you discuss this with both your surgeon and a hematologist prior to your surgery. Best of luck with your journey!- Emily Wirtz, MD
