- Title
Inherited bleeding disorders in heavy menstrual bleeding: The case for joint haematological and gynaecological care.
- Authors
Curry, Nicola; Lowe, Gillian; Clark, T. Justin
- Abstract
A full clotting screen - prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and Clauss fibrinogen - can be requested in the gynaecology clinic, but must not be used to exclude an IBD if the results are normal. Young women and girls with moderately severe and severe inherited bleeding conditions may be diagnosed with their IBD for reasons other than HMB, such as periprocedural bleeding or bleeding associated with minimal childhood trauma. Many women with an undiagnosed bleeding disorder will attend gynaecology services with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), often as the first manifestation of their bleeding condition.
