Women... It's Not Normal. Period!

For many women and girls, symptoms like heavy periods, easy bruising, pain, fatigue, and bleeding that won’t stop are dismissed—or normalized—for years. But these experiences are not normal, and they may be signs of an underlying bleeding disorder. In this Educate to Elevate video from the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation, lived-experience voices and medical experts come together to say what too many people never hear: you don’t have to suffer in silence. Bleeding disorders aren’t always visible, but the impact is real—and so are the treatment options, support, and community. Featuring voices from across the bleeding disorders community, this video encourages anyone who has lived with a lifetime of symptoms to seek answers, get support, and know they are not alone. There is help. There is care. And there is a community ready to support you.
