Management of gynecological bleeding: This session will discuss gynecological bleeding in WGBD. Diagnosis and management of gynecological bleeding throughout the lifespan will be covered, including both hemostatic and non-hemostatic treatment modalities.
Management of pregnancy: Carriers of hemophilia A and B have an increased risk of bleeding during pregnancy and delivery. The unborn child may also be affected by the bleeding disorder for which specific measures have to be considered. This requires a multidisciplinary approach, with a team that includes a hematologist, a pediatric hematologist, a clinical geneticist, an obstetrician-perinatologist, and an anesthesiologist. This presentation will discuss the current diagnostic and clinical management of pregnancy and delivery in these women in order to optimize the outcome for mothers and the neonates.
Thrombosis in WGBD: What to do when clotting goes awry: Although bleeding is the primary complication for WGBD, venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a possible and challenging scenario. In this presentation, we will review the available evidence on this topic and discuss strategies for management and anticoagulation in people with bleeding disorders.
