The condition can also cause sufferers to bruise easily, typically in unusual locations. Symptoms of von Willebrand disease can be very mild, and for this reason, the condition often goes undetected.
Bruising can sometimes be a symptom of other illness, such as an irregularity in the liver or the blood clotting mechanism.
I have used a nasal spray (DDAVP) for three weeks, but the bleeding did not stop. I tried doubling up on the nasal spray since I was prescribed the wrong strength, but it did not help. I had my second Depo Provera shot on December 7. I thought it would help make the bleeding stop, but I am still bleeding. I have also tried a estrogen pill I was prescribed, but it has not helped.
I know I will have light bleeding on the Depo Provera, but is it normal to be bleeding for 37 days?
Hi all,
This is my first post in this community. Following an approximately 8 month (and counting) history of recurrent petechiae, my doctor finally referred me to a hematologist for further evaluation. The hematologist listened to my concerns and told me that she wanted to test me for von Willebrand disease, but she expected the testing to come back negative as I "should have other symptoms besides petechiae if it's von Willebrand's.
My doctor suspects I might have Von Willebrand and has referred me to see a hematologist and do some blood work. She said "We should test to see if you have it and if you can then have kids".
As you might understand, that was unsettling for me.
Is there a chance that VW or any other blood disorder for that matter could cause sterility or infertility?
von Willebrand disease maybe? Does she have frequent nosebleeds often?
Google von Willebrand. It's a disorder that causes the blood to not clot very quickly, so little injuries turn into bigger bruises than you expect. As I understand it, it's treatable my medication.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, nasal spray formulations of Desmopressin (Noctiva, others) are no longer recommended for treatment of bed-wetting due to the risk of serious side effects.
Again, however, I can't stress enough that your friend should be checked by the GP, as an adult , this can signal other issues that need fairly prompt attention.
s Disease by itself will not cause a decreased libido. However, Antihemophilic factor-von Willebrand factor complex, if has been used in your case to decrease the vaginal bleeding could be the cause of decreased libido.

The other possibility is that you have vaginal dryness.
In april my TSH was up to 20 and my doctor decided to keep the medicin on 75 mcg, due to more testing for a possible Von Willebrand disease. There has been more then six weeks for my TSH to stabilize. During the testing for Von Willebrand (ofcourse with other things measured as well) my TSH went up from 20 to 23 and then to 15, 18 and once collapsed to 1,8. Two weeks later is was 23 again. Since january I was taking 75 mcg (and that's five months ago).
The medication used for this is called Dessmopressin or DDAVP. It is available in a pill form, nasal spray or injection. There are a few other conditions that can mimic this so it is important to get it ruled in or out. I have this and without medication I am also up every half hour drinking and peeing.i rec that you see a neuro endo to rule this out, your other pituitary hormones, and have a current MRI. It may be as simple as taking a little pill every night to help you to hold onto fluids.
The platelet count suggests against that - unless the count is normal but the platelet function is not (ie, von-willebrand). The thyroid levels are normal for age. Would work with her pediatrician to get to the underlying cause and she may need additional labs and possibly hematology consult.
If you are concerned about your von Willebrand disease (-please correct me if I misinterpret what you are writing when you say vwb -- von Willebrand disease is usually listed as vWD, so maybe I have it wrong) - if it is von Willebrand disease you are talking about, it seems like excessive bleeding at the period is more a problem with vWD than not having a period when expected. Unless you have vWD type 3, there is not considered to be an unusual risk of bleeding in the joints, etc.
Here is an excerpt from an article I found on easy bruising.
“ People tend to bruise more easily as they age because blood vessels become weaker and the skin thins.
Easy bruising may also run in families, so people whose relatives bruise easily may notice that they do as well.
It can be difficult for a person to assess whether they have more bruises than usual or bruise more easily than most other people.
For owners of breeds that are more prone to having von Willebrand’s disease, there is a specialized test that can determine the exact amount of the von Willebrand protein that is present in the blood. If the test comes back positive for the disease, it won’t necessary help the dog on a daily basis but will come in handy to know if the dog ever requires emergency treatment or undergoes any type of surgery.
Von Willebrand’s disease isn’t an automatic death sentence to dogs.
My husband has been diagnosed with von Willebrand disease. My youngest son has symptoms and labwork that suggest the same. I have never had easy bruising overall, I do have heavy menstrual bleeding but always attributed that to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
i found it he had /has von willebrand disorder.
Yes it it safe I had a cold and the doctors still recommend nasal spray for me!
The only thing that allows me to breathe is a nasal spray equivalent to afrin. I used to be addicted yrs ago but now I only use it in dire emergency....like before eating or bed because I can't sleep if I can't breathe through my nose. In the past 3 days I've only used it at night and a couple other times during the day when it was really bad! I try to hold off as long as possible without using it. And I only use 1 or 2 sprays and usually only in 1 nostril.
If it's,allergies you could take benadryl. That helps me when im sick and stuffy.
The way I got rid of using nasal spray is to dilute the nasal spray 10% per week by using water or salt water. Continue use the diluted nasal spray, your nose will not noticed the difference. by the time (after 8 weeks) you get to 80% water, then you can cut it all off. There is a company sale this kind of diluted nasal spray solutions, but you can easily open the bottle and mix it with water yourself.
It works by constricting (shrinking) blood vessels (veins and arteries) in your body. The nasal formulation acts directly on the blood vessels in your nasal tissues. Constriction of the blood vessels in your nose and sinuses leads to drainage of these areas and a decrease in congestion. One of its side effect may be elevation of blood pressure and an irregular or fast heartbeat.
