von Willebrand disease
History
The most common symptoms include nosebleeds, skin bruises, and hematomas. Prolonged bleeding from trivial wounds, oral cavity bleeding, and excessive menstrual bleeding are common. Gastrointestinal bleeding is rare.
•A common but nonspecific symptom is easy bruising.
•Prolonged bleeding after minor trauma to skin or mucous membranes is characteristic of vWD.
•Severe hemorrhage after major surgery is less common, but delayed bleeding may occur up to several weeks after surgery.
•Heavy bleeding is common after tooth extraction or other oral surgery, such as tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
•Menorrhagia is a common presenting complaint in women.
•Bleeding symptoms are often exacerbated by the ingestion of aspirin and are ameliorated by the use of oral contraceptives.
Physical
Physical examination findings are usually normal. However, patients may have physical sequelae, such as bleeding or bruises.
