What is von Willebrand Disease (vWD)?

von Willebrand disease (vWD) is a common genetic blood disorder that impairs blood clotting leading to excess bleeding. In people with vWD, a protein called von Willebrand factor that is critical to blood clotting either does not function properly or is insufficient. As a result, people with vWD bleed more easily.

Typical Symptoms of von Willebrand Disease (vWD)

Diagnostic Questions for von Willebrand Disease (vWD)

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Did you have any heavy bleeding during delivery?
  • Do you have blood in your stool?
  • Do you have a family history of von Willebrand disease (VWD)?
  • Do your gums bleed when brushing?
  • Are your stools black and shiny like hair?

Treatment of von Willebrand Disease (vWD)

While there is no cure, it can be managed and people can live normal lives. Mild cases of vWD may only have to be treated if injured or before surgical procedures where bleeding might be expected. Medications or injection of clotting factors may be prescribed to help the blood clot in more severe cases.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Female, 40s

I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
