Women and Clotting - What You Need to Know

In this episode of Ask the Expert, we focus on women with bleeding disorders — a group that has historically been overlooked in research and clinical care. Heavy menstrual bleeding, mild and moderate hemophilia, and von Willebrand disease have often gone underdiagnosed or mischaracterized, leaving many women without the care they need.

Amy Board sits down with leading hematology experts to discuss emerging therapies, including replacement and rebalancing agents, the science behind how they work, and why representation in clinical trials matters. We also explore the challenges women face in accessing treatment and the opportunities these new therapies provide for improving care.

This episode highlights both the progress being made and the work still ahead to ensure all patients are seen, heard, and treated effectively.
