DIAGNOSIS
The doctor will inquire about an individual’s personal and family history of bleeding to determine whether they have VWD. In addition, the doctor will look for abnormal bruising or other indications of recent bleeding and will run certain blood tests to see how the blood clots.
Afterward, the tests will reveal the quantity of clotting proteins in the blood as well as whether or not the clotting proteins are functioning correctly. Also, because some medicines may induce bleeding even in individuals who do not have a bleeding problem, the doctor will inquire about any recent or regular medications that may have caused or exacerbated bleeding symptoms.
TREATMENT
The kind of therapy recommended for VWD is determined by the disease’s type and magnitude. However, a mild bleeding may not need the use of medicines.
The most frequent forms of therapy are as follows:
- Desmopressin Acetate Injection
- Desmopressin Acetate Nasal Spray
- Antifibrinolytic Drugs
- Birth Control Pills
