HealthyWomen Asks: Do You Know the Signs and Symptoms of von Willebrand Disease (VWD)?
Date:4/18/2012

Center and Hemostasis Program, Children's Hospital of Michigan and who also works with the Foundation for Women & Girls with Blood Disorders (FWGBD), a non-profit advocacy and education organization dedicated to advancing physician and healthcare provider knowledge of the unique needs and challenges faced by women and adolescent girls with blood disorders.  "Unexplained bleeding or bruising is not normal and is something you should always discuss with your healthcare provider. If you are diagnosed with a bleeding disorder, treatments are available."

The new materials include common questions about VWD answered by an expert, as well as real-life stories of women living with the condition. One of these women, Kristin Prior, 49, recalls her own diagnosis in 1996.

"While I had experienced many of the five signs and symptoms throughout early adulthood it wasn't until I was 32 that I finally received my diagnosis of von Willebrand disease," said Prior. "My hope is that women who are facing some of the same challenges that I did will read my story on HealthyWomen.org and realize that diagnosis and treatment can make a tremendous difference in their lives."  

The von Willebrand disease educational resources were developed through an educational grant from CSL Behring, a world leader in developing and manufacturing safe and effective solutions to treat and manage bleeding disorders.
