Interdisciplinary management of gynecologic bleeding with anticoagulation: a recommended toolkit from the Foundation for Women and Girls with Blood Disorders+ Thrombosis Subcommittee

Bethany Samuelson Bannow et al. J Thromb Haemost. 2025 Dec.

Abstract

The care of menstruating adolescents and adults requiring anticoagulation is challenging and requires close interdisciplinary collaboration. A number of collaborative clinics have been developed across the United States, and the Foundation for Women and Girls with Blood Disorders has led the effort to designate specific centers of excellence. Here, we describe the role of various team members, including hematologists, gynecologists, adolescent medicine providers, and nurses, in providing comprehensive, interdisciplinary care to menstruating individuals.

Keywords: anticoagulation; menorrhagia; thrombosis; women’s health.
