How Can Von Willebrand Disease Be Treated?
I have von Wilabrand bleeding disorder. I thought I had out grown it but had not. I found that out when I some teeth pulled and the bleeding lasted for 9 hours. I had been told that humate or stimate is the coagulant. But I am afraid of the side effects. Can you set me straight. Thanks Ted
