The literature reports that 10-30% of women with menorrhagia have an underlying bleeding disorder. The American Society of Hematology highlighted this as a major public health issue in 2006, and there have been ongoing efforts to address this problem. The prevalence of a bleeding disorder in the normal population is 1 in 100; von Willebrand Disease (VWD) being the most common. Studies have shown between 57% and 93% of women with bleeding disorders have menorrhagia. Therefore, women, who present with menorrhagia, should be considered for investigation of a bleeding disorder.
