Popis: Introduction Multidisciplinary management of women‐specific bleeding is important to preserve quality of life, healthy reproduction and social participation of women and girls with bleeding disorders (WBD). Aim To support appropriate multidisciplinary care for WBD in haemophilia treatment centres. Methods Two case examples are presented and management issues discussed from different health care perspectives, including the nurse, patient, psychologist, gynaecologist, geneticist, psychosexual therapist and haematologist. Results Woman with bleeding disorders may experience heavy menstruation from menarche onwards. This has a physical and psychosocial impact requiring a multidisciplinary approach. If a woman with an inherited bleeding disorder desires to become pregnant, preconception counselling is essential, to discuss genetic diagnosis, state of the art treatment options for the bleeding disorder in question and possible choices to prevent having an affected child, as well as maternal bleeding risks during conception, delivery and the post‐partum period. Conclusion Adequate management and good education of WBD requires a patient‐centred multidisciplinary approach with experienced specialists in a haemophilia treatment centre.
