Priority 4 from the Bleeding Disorder PSP
| UNCERTAINTY: How should heavy periods be managed in women with bleeding disorders? (JLA PSP Priority 4) | |
|---|---|
| Overall ranking | 4 |
| JLA question ID | 0078/4 |
| Explanatory note | As well as causing significant blood loss, sufficient to cause anaemia, heavy menstrual bleeding can be a significant barrier to normal activity and have a negative impact of quality of life for women. The problem is not always explained entirely by the bleeding disorder and therefore requires close collaboration with a gynaecologist to find the most effective and satisfactory approach for individual women. This may well be a combination of haemostatic and hormonal or even surgical methods. |
