Many carriers of hemophilia also experience symptoms of the disorder. Some women live with their symptoms for years without being diagnosed or even suspecting they have a bleeding disorder. This fact sheet includes answers to questions such as:

  • What is an inherited bleeding disorder?
  • What are the symptoms and signs of bleeding disorders in women and girls?
  • How do bleeding disorders affect pregnancy and childbirth or miscarriage?
  • What are some of the consequences and issues of untreated bleeding disorders in women and girls?

And many more!
