What treatment options are available for managing menorrhagia in GT patients?
Management of menorrhagia in GT patients can be challenging. Treatment options include:
Hormonal therapy: Using oral contraceptives or other hormonal treatments to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce bleeding. Antifibrinolytic agents: Medications like tranexamic acid can help reduce bleeding by stabilizing blood clots. Desmopressin (DDAVP): This can be used in certain cases to temporarily increase levels of von Willebrand factor and factor VIII, aiding clot formation. Platelet transfusions: Reserved for severe cases, especially during surgical procedures or when other treatments are ineffective.
