AzNMA Webinar – Identifying and Treating Bleeding and Clotting Disorders in Women and Girls with Heavy Menstrual Bleeding and Gynecological Complications – Dr. Heather Paulson

Undiagnosed, untreated blood disorders in women have medical consequences and unique issues at every life stage. The delay in and/or failure to diagnose and treat blood disorders in women is a major public health problem. This can result in significant morbidity, reduced quality of life, days lost from work/school, unnecessary invasive procedures and high health care costs. Women with menorrhagia have a 24% chance of having a bleeding disorder, which is often the only clinical sign of a bleeding disorder. This lecture will prepare you to identify patients at risk for bleeding disorders reviewing differentials, labs, and treatments.
