Here's a number worth stopping for. 🔴
Around 1 in 10,000 people have haemophilia, a condition where blood simply doesn't clot the way it should. And that's just haemophilia. Related bleeding disorders like von Willebrand disease affect up to 1 in 100 Australians, with many cases still going undiagnosed.
Why? Because the signs are easy to miss or explain away.
Bleeding that takes too long to stop. Easy or unexplained bruising. Heavy periods. Swollen or painful joints. A family member with a similar story.
Sound familiar? It's worth a conversation with your GP.
This World Haemophilia Day, we're encouraging anyone in the Burwood East community with a family history of bleeding disorders, or symptoms that just haven't added up, to come in and chat with one of our GPs.
We bulk bill eligible patients including children under 16, concession, pension, and DVA cardholders.
