NHF praises Congresswoman for calling attention to bleeding disorders in women.(National Hemophilia Foundation, Cynthia McKinney)(Brief Article)
2002 MAY 30 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) praised Congresswomen Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) for responding to its call to help raise awareness nationwide about undiagnosed bleeding disorders in women by introducing House Concurrent Resolution 380.
Many women and their health care providers have little awareness of genetic bleeding disorders, which occur in as many as 1-2 people in 100. Undiagnosed and untreated, bleeding disorders can lead to serious health risks following surgery, injury, and childbirth.
H. Con. Res. 380 calls for appropriate screening for women and girls with excessive menstrual bleeding, a common bleeding disorder symptom, as well as for a proper evaluation prior to performing a hysterectomy to rule out the possibility of a treatable bleeding disorder. This legislation calls for women with bleeding disorders to be referred to federally sponsored hemophilia treatment centers for comprehensive treatment. In addition, it calls for the continuation of public education and outreach efforts such as the "Project Red Flag" campaign conducted by NHF and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
