National Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month

Did you know that bleeding disorders affect about three million Americans who have hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, and other rare bleeding disorders?

All of these conditions prevent the blood from clotting the way that it should, which can lead to prolonged bleeding after injury, surgery, or physical trauma. They can even be deadly if not treated correctly.

Maverick County Hospital District is observing National Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month through March and encourages anyone with such a problem to consult with our Oncologist / Hematologist Dr. Eduardo Miranda, MD.

Bleeding disorders can lead to very serious problems such as spontaneous or sudden bleeding in the muscles, joints, or other parts of the body.

Symptoms can vary depending on the specific type of bleeding disorder. However, the main signs include: unexplained and easy bruising, heavy menstrual bleeding, frequent nosebleeds, excessive bleeding from small cuts or an injury, and bleeding into the joints.

If you have one or more of these symptoms, please schedule an appointment with us at 830-757-4900 or 830-757-4901.
