Raising awareness is the first step . It was believed and taught that only men will inherit hemophilia. So relearning the aspect that women also get affected in severe cases and suffer serious bleeding is important.

Female bleeding disorders are often overlooked, especially in low-resource settings. I believe we need more awareness, better provider education, and accessible screening. Empowering women to recognize symptoms and advocate for themselves is key.

To improve the diagnosis and understanding of female bleeding disorders, especially in areas with limited healthcare infrastructure, we need to focus on increasing awareness, education, and access to specialized care.

This includes educating healthcare professionals about the unique aspects of these disorders in women, developing tailored resources for patients, and advocating for policies that promote equity in bleeding disorder care.
