In Brief: Your Guide to von Willebrand Disease (VWD), NHLBI If you often have large, lumpy bruises; frequent or difficult-to-stop nosebleeds; bleed a lot after a fairly minor cut; or are a woman who has very heavy or long menstrual periods, you should ask your doctor about an inherited bleeding disorder called von Willebrand disease (VWD). Named for Dr. Erik von Willebrand, a Finnish doctor who first described the condition in 1926, VWD affects your blood’s ability to clot and can lead to heavy, hard-to-stop bleeding after an injury. The bleeding from VWD can lead to damage of your internal organs or even be life threatening, but this is rare. In VWD, you either have low levels of a certain protein in your blood or the protein doesn’t work the way it should. Normally, when one of your blood vessels is injured, you start to bleed. Von Willebrand factor also carries with it clotting factor VIII (8), another important protein that helps your blood clot. There are three major types of von Willebrand disease. What Causes von Willebrand disease? No.
