Factor X (FX) is an inherited bleeding disorder that is caused by complications with FX when the clotting reaction is blocked too soon causing the blood clot to not form. The deficiency of the clotting factor is either the body does not make enough FX or FX is not working like it should.
Hemophilia.org says people with mild FX deficiency experience easy bruising, nose or mouth bleeds, and bleeding after trauma or surgery. Symptoms for patients with severe FX deficiency include excessive umbilical cord bleeding, joint bleeds, intramuscular bleeds, and a high risk of intracranial hemorrhage in the first weeks of life.
Women with FX deficiency may additionally exhibit menorrhagia, or heavy menstrual bleeding. Pregnant women with FX may experience first trimester miscarriage or post-partum hemorrhage and should receive consultation by a hematologist and obstetrician prior to delivery.
