Identifying the Determinants of Bleeding and Hypermobility in Patients With Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

In this study, researchers want to learn about the connection between heavy bleeding issues and joint hypermobility (loose joints). They want to know if these issues may indicate other connective tissue problems in girls and women with heavy menstrual bleeding who do not have a known cause. Primary Objective * Compare the severity of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in women with and without Generalized joint Hypermobility Syndrome Disorder/hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (G-HSD/hEDS) using bleeding scores. Secondary Objectives * Compare the frequency of co-morbidities in women with and without G-HSD/hEDS.
