What some women may believe is normal when it comes to bleeding,
perhaps is not so normal!
Heavy and / or long lasting menstrual periods could be signs of a bleeding disorder.
Same could be said of any other bleeding problems:
Excessive nose bleeds?? Bleeding gums?? Easy bruising??
Heavy bleeding following dental work, surgery, injury, or childbirth??
These may be signs of a bleeding disorder – a flaw in the body’s clotting system.
Women with untreated bleeding disorders face serious and unnecessary risk following child birth, surgery or injury. Most bleeding disorders are easily treated.
If any of these symptoms sound familiar to you, you may have a bleeding disorder.
