Alaqzam TS, et al. - Researchers here searched for the relationship of bleeding disorders to iron deficiency anemia. Furthermore, they examined all current treatment modalities used in a menorrhagia clinic with respect to heavy menstrual bleeding management to identify the most effective options for menstrual management in the setting of an underlying bleeding disorder. They identified a high frequency of bleeding disorder in those tested. Subjects with a bleeding disorder showed less tendency to present with severe anemia requiring blood transfusion and less frequently had iron deficiency anemia. Combined oral contraceptives were observed to be commonly used clinically for menstrual suppression, however, they were not observed to be the most effective option.
