Von Willebrands Disease
Von Willebrand's Disease
Symptoms
Most cases of von Willebrand's disease are mild. Some people with type 1 von Willebrand's disease have no more bleeding than members of the general population. Mild von Willebrand's disease may not be noticed until you have excessive bleeding after an injury, dental procedure, or surgery. Severe cases (type 3) often are recognized early in childhood because of unusual bleeding.
Symptoms of mild von Willebrand's disease include:
Frequent nosebleeds.
Occasional bleeding from the gums.
Heavy menstrual periods in women (menorrhagia). Over half of all women with von Willebrand's disease have excessive menstrual bleeding.4 Von Willebrand's disease accounts for 13% to 20% of cases of heavy menstrual periods.3
