Jane ElliottHealth BBC NewsAsia Victoria Maxwell seriously injured a child and had terrible nose bleeds. But it was when he started his time, his problems really began. Each time it was heavy and uncomfortable, and Victoria was unhappy and embarrassed. “It ‘was diabolical,” said the 62-year-old from Kent. “I used most of the months of bleeding, and only three or four days, I’m not consistent.” Doctors broadly disliked and Victoria has been suggested that the hard times a burden, which was to wear alone. “I was in hospital with a dilation and curettage (scraping the uterine lining). I had about 10 of these,” he said. “The specialist said I had a uterus like a pot that deposits of calcium to keep up, and that my husband and I have a family before thinking the situation worse.” When I was young, I wondered if I was going crazy Victoria Maxwell, “she thought, when I was 30 I had a hysterectomy.” In fact, Victoria was only 26 when this, after the birth of her two children. The doctors said that he would need to be in hospital as a matter of days, but it was so heavy bleeding after the operation, which remain there for months. “Seat’Finally Back when he was about forty, his doctors diagnosed with hemophilia disease von Willebrand factor, but not without life more dangerous situations on the road. DISEASEOne Von Willebrand most common bleeding disorders in women There are about 5,000 people identified with (von Willebrand-Jürgens-VWD) in the UK, but no longer able to diagnose the disease because it is believed that about 1% of the population there are different types of VWD, all inheritedDr Bella Madan, consultant haematologist at Guy’s and St Thomas ‘hospitals’ in London, where Victoria is now treated, said he fears that many Women are not getting the care they need. He said many people wrongly assumed that only men are affected by bleeding disorders and that women tend to “because the end.” Dr. Madan said that ignorance could endanger human lives. “But the world of von Willebrand disease, the most common bleeding disorder and is equally frequent in men and women, although women make up more of the symptoms of the rule,” he said. ” This is because the challenges of time and the birth of a child’s face. “Victoria has almost died several times, but she only has a mild form of the disease.” Life riskDr Madan said she believes many women who were diagnosed with the disease. Forms “The loss of blood, even in mild cases can be severe enough to warrant surgery or blood transfusions for severe epistaxis. Mild disease is harder to diagnose than the more serious forms,” he said. “In extreme cases, a child died and his second term, because the bleeding can not be controlled.” I have the feeling that we lack a large number of patients in whom the disorder is only made of hard times. Not only women who have been set up with the misery and embarrassment, but also their life could be endangered. “We want to increase awareness of bleeding disorders and to change the mentality and thinking.” In an effort to do so, they opened Guy and St Thomas ‘Hospitals’, two specialty clinics for women with bleeding disorders, and gynecological and obstetric problems. The demand was so great that the woman has abandoned this month in the week. Victoria said she felt sure that, first, the doctors had not seriously. “When I was young, I wondered if I was going crazy,” he said. “When I was diagnosed for the first time I was told that he was as rare as chicken teeth. And ‘well known, but if I were to meet and EI physicians who do not know about it.” It needs more advertising. “My mother thought it a curse. I think I had difficult moments, and if it’s too bad, I would take a machine from another op.” If I had met with specialists in law, I would not have had a hysterectomy, and my second husband and I had a child together, maybe. “It ‘a great relief and an operation when I now know that it takes more time, but I’m not so anxious.”
