Hematology-Gynecology Program

Being a teenager or young adult is hard enough, especially while trying to navigate abnormal periods. That’s where our Hematology-Gynecology Program comes in. We provide comprehensive support for people with abnormal menstrual bleeding, whether they have a bleeding disorder or not. Our program is the first in the Bay Area to bring together experts in pediatric hematology, pediatric and adolescent gynecology, and more in one clinic so patients can schedule one visit and leave with a plan informed by experts across several specialties.

Conditions we treat

We can help kids and young adults who have:

• Abnormal uterine bleeding, with or without a bleeding disorder diagnosis
• A bleeding disorder that may impact their periods, such as:
  • Hemophilia
  • Von Willebrand disease
  • Platelet disorders
  • Factor V deficiency
  • Factor VII deficiency
  • Factor VIII deficiency
  • Factor X deficiency
  • Factor XI deficiency 
  • Factor XIII deficiency
  • Immune thrombocytopenia
  • A clotting disorder that causes them to be on anticoagulation medications

Why choose us

• A comprehensive and coordinated approach. In one visit, patients can see experts across specialties, and we can all work together to find the best way to manage each patient’s bleeding. Patients will leave with the confidence that they have a plan designed with input from a range of experts that fits with their own unique needs.
• Access to the latest research. We offer several clinical trials testing new approaches for treating heavy periods and bleeding disorders. And our providers are also part of the Foundation for Women & Girls with Blood Disorders’ Learning Action Network, which helps us collaborate with other specialists across the country.
