Gynecologic Care for Young Women with Blood Disorders
Gynecologic Care for Young Women with Blood Disorders
University of Michigan Health offers a full-spectrum of care for young women with bleeding or clotting disorders, including diagnostic expertise and treatment options.
Our Approach
Our clinic offers a multidisciplinary approach to caring for adolescent girls and young women with bleeding and clotting disorders. Each patient is seen by a gynecologist who specializes in the care of adolescents and young adults, a pediatric hematologist trained in the care of patients with abnormal bleeding, a nurse specialist and a social worker. We provide consultation for new patients, as well as continuing care for return patients that have already been seen by adolescent gynecology or pediatric hematology.
Our team is committed to providing family-centered care with compassion and respect. We work to develop a plan of care that meets the needs of each patient.
Who We Treat
We treat patients with the following conditions:
- Excessive menstrual bleeding, leading to anemia or a low hemoglobin
- History of clots in their blood vessels or a family history of a clotting disorder, desiring contraceptives or menstrual suppression
- Known disorders that can result in excessive menstrual bleeding, such as:
- Von Willebrand disease
- Thrombocytopenia (low platelets)
- Platelet function defects
- Coagulation factor deficiencies (such as Factor 7, Factor 11, Factor 13 deficiency)
- Hemophilia A or B carriers
