Adolescent Hematology and Gynecology Clinic

<p>Adolescent Hematology and Gynecology Clinic</p>

Comprehensive care for patients with heavy menstrual bleeding  

What Sets Us Apart

Our Clinic offers specialized, compassionate care for adolescents with heavy menstrual bleeding through a team of hematology, gynecology, and adolescent medicine specialists. Because this is a common concern for many menstruating adolescents, we provide convenient “one-stop” care that addresses iron deficiency, bleeding disorders, and treatment options to reduce the degree of bleeding.  

Key characteristics that distinguish our program:    

  • Our multidisciplinary team provides expert, coordinated gynecologic and hematologic care in one location, making the experience simpler and more convenient  
  • We care for one of the largest groups of adolescents with heavy menstrual bleeding and bleeding disorders, giving us extensive experience and strong continuity of care
  • Accurate laboratory testing is offered to evaluate common and rare bleeding disorders, helping ensure the correct diagnosis and treatment plan
  • Our patients have access to innovative research aimed at improving care for adolescents with these and related conditions
  • As leaders in the field, we are nationally recognized as a Clinic of Excellence by the Foundation for Women & Girls with Blood Disorders  

Approaches

We take time to understand the cause of heavy menstrual bleeding and tailor treatment to each patient.

Finding the Cause | We screen for bleeding disorders, including von Willebrand disease, individual factor deficiencies (such as hemophilia), and platelet disorders, to ensure an accurate diagnosis. 

Treating Iron Deficiency | For patients who have difficulty taking oral iron or do not see improvement, we offer intravenous iron infusions in our on‑site infusion center. 

Personalized Treatment Plans | We provide comprehensive counseling on hormonal and non‑hormonal treatment options, helping patients and families choose therapies that align with their goals and lifestyle.
