Just your regular reminder that if an adolescent patient tells you their periods are “fine” it’s a good idea to ask some more questions.

At our October Conference we provided free period products, including Tampax and Always products. This was thanks to @MeaghersPharmcy.
We also included a useful infographic from Know Your Flow which includes information about what makes a heavy period. @sortoutbleeding

As a hematologist who cares for "carriers" I often don't get involved until they are pregnant... when they've often spent years with abnormal bleeding that could have been addressed. Getting a diagnosis and looping folks into care early should be a priority!

Heavy periods, also known as heavy menstrual bleeding (#HMB), are a common symptom of a bleeding disorder. If you have any of these signs of HMB, a bleeding disorder might be the reason behind your heavy periods. For more info on #BloodDisorders: bit.ly/3Mg9Sl5.

Remember, everyone may have a different "normal", so be sure to ask about menstrual bleeding in detail.

Great to hear so much about women with bleeding disorders at #ISTH2022 - Still so many inequities and barriers for this patient group, we need to keep this conversation going.

This #CoagCapsule is an excellent summary of the #ISTH2022 SOA talk by Zoe McQuilten – when to use #TXA for bleeding. A nice overview for #hemetwitter #medtwitter trainees! #IllustratedReview onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Fantastic talk from @Clair_Comerford from @RCSI_Irl today at #ISTH2022 outlining her exciting research into vWF and it’s role in Myeloma: increased secretion/reduced clearance + presence in the BM niche, possibly contributing to thrombosis and/or local disease progression

Why is it possible to choose a new prime minister in 8 weeks but it takes at least 6 months to go through NHS ethics?

Yes!!! I have this discussion literally every single day of clinical work... with patients, pharmacists and other doctors. We need to end false and harmful rhetoric about TXA and VTE... it just isn't true!
I feel like I need to make wallpaper of this slide and just paste it up around hospitals.... TXA does not increase VTE risk #ISTH2022 katherine dormandy plenary
