Sexuality and bleeding in von Willebrand disease
Women with VWD experience more sexual restrictions than men and report more postcoital bleeding than the general population. Premenopausal women are particularly affected, mostly due to HMB. This highlights the need for health care providers to address sexual health during consultations and treat HMB to improve overall care for VWD patients.
