Heavy menstrual bleeding is commonly reported in women and girls with bleeding disorders and delays are often due to social stigma that may be tied to cultural taboos and religious beliefs. Early recognition of HMB potentially through a variety of menstrual bleeding tracking tools, and identification of a possible congenital bleeding disorder is key to ensure patients are afforded the opportunity to be referred to a local multidisciplinary care clinic focused on optimal management and mitigation of the quality-of-life effects of HMB.
