    Abstract:
    There is a considerable number of women with inherited bleeding disorders in Iran. von Willebrand disease, Glanzman thrombasthenia and factor XIII deficiency are the most common coagulation disorders. The main cause of this high rate of coagulation disorders is attributed to a high rate of consanguineous marriages in Iran. Medical care continues to improve for individuals affected with coagulation disorders in Iran. However, these disorders continue to have a significant impact on the affected Iranian women. As a result of the hereditary nature of these disorders, the impact extends to the psychosocial dimension of the lives of the women. Therefore it is recommended that women with coagulation disorders are provided with psychological and social support along with coagulation therapy.
