It's Not Just a Heavy Period on The Flow with BloodStream
<p dir="ltr">For years, women with bleeding disorders were told it was "just a heavy period."</p> <p dir="ltr">On the kickoff episode of The Flow with BloodStream, "It's Not Just a Heavy Period," women and clinicians expose what happens when serious symptoms are minimized, normalized, or dismissed entirely.</p> <p dir="ltr">Heavy prolonged periods. Anemia. Bruising. Joint bleeds. Rectal bleeding. Years without answers.</p> <p dir="ltr">Three women share what it was like to document their symptoms just to be believed — and how finally receiving factor treatment and prophylaxis changed their lives.</p> <p dir="ltr">Hematologist Dr. Jen Davila breaks down how the right questions can uncover what patients have learned to normalize, and how stigma, misinformation, and assumptions about women in bleeding disorders continue to delay care.</p> <p dir="ltr">This episode is about being heard, properly diagnosed, and redefining what women with bleeding disorders should have to live with.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Presenting Sponsor:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">For too long, women and girls with bleeding disorders have been told they're "just carriers." But</p> <p dir="ltr">the truth is, women can experience real bleeding symptoms too. And their stories deserve to be</p> <p dir="ltr">heard.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">That's the idea behind "Because She Matters," a campaign from Novo Nordisk. It highlights the</p> <p dir="ltr">experiences of women living with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, helping raise</p> <p dir="ltr">awareness of symptoms that are often overlooked or misunderstood.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">On the site, you'll see real stories from women who went years without answers, learn about</p> <p dir="ltr">signs like heavy or prolonged periods, frequent bruising, or unexplained bleeding, and find</p> <p dir="ltr">guidance on how to start conversations with your healthcare provider.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Because recognizing the signs is the first step toward getting the care you deserve.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Visit WomenWithHemophilia.com, that's WomenWithHemophilia.com or click the link in the</p> <p dir="ltr">show notes.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">Because when it comes to bleeding disorders, women's health matters.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">Women's voices matter.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">Because SHE matters.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">Learn more and explore the resources at WomenWithHemophilia.com.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <h4 dir="ltr">Show Notes:</h4> <p dir="ltr"> <a href= "http://womenwithhemophilia.com">WomenWithHemophilia.com</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Subscribe:</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bloodstream/id1133574474">The BloodStream Podcast</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Connect with BloodStream Media:</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.bloodstreammedia.com/">BloodStreamMedia.com</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "http://www.facebook.com/BloodStreamMedia">BloodStream on Facebook</a> </p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://twitter.com/BloodStreamInfo">BloodStream on X/Twitter</a> </p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/bloodstream_media/">BloodStream on Instagram</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/90512201/admin/dashboard/">BloodStream on LinkedIn</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@bloodstreammedia?lang=en">BloodStream on TikTok</a></p> <p> </p>

Believing Data: the Study of the Female Body - with Dr. Bethany Samuelson Bannow, M.D., M.C.R.
<p dir="ltr">Research scientist Dr. Bethany Samuelson Bannow talks bodily autonomy, calls for the need for better menstrual tracking methods for individuals with bleeding disorders, and reveals how medical school training often provides minimal education on the period. She encourages listeners to speak openly about their periods to break the stigma, noting that even within religious texts, there are accounts of individuals seeking and receiving healing for heavy bleeding.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Program Notes:</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Episode Links:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Dr. Bannow <a href= "https://www.ohsu.edu/providers/bethany-samuelsonbannow-md-mcr#profile-section__about-me"> https://www.ohsu.edu/providers/bethany-samuelsonbannow-md-mcr#profile-section__about-me</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Konika Ray Wong's Period Education Book <a href= "https://girlpowerscience.com/shop/p/oneinamillionbook">https://girlpowerscience.com/shop/p/oneinamillionbook</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Dr. Bannow's paper / ASH Publications, re: Anticoagulation in Women: <a href= "https://ashpublications.org/hematology/article/2022/1/467/493547/Anticoagulant-therapy-for-women-implications-for?guestAccessKey="> https://ashpublications.org/hematology/article/2022/1/467/493547/Anticoagulant-therapy-for-women-implications-for?guestAccessKey=</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">NIH / Anticoagulation Article by Dr. Bannow <a href= "https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39476970/">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39476970/</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">PDX Monthly Article about Dr. Bannow's outstanding work: <a href= "https://www.pdxmonthly.com/health-and-wellness/2024/06/ohsu-menstrual-research-period-products-bethany-samuelson-bannow"> https://www.pdxmonthly.com/health-and-wellness/2024/06/ohsu-menstrual-research-period-products-bethany-samuelson-bannow</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">NBDF Video featuring Dr. Bannow: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyb44gh27Og">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyb44gh27Og</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Dr. Period Hackers <a href= "https://www.drperiodhackers.com/">https://www.drperiodhackers.com/</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Flow with Dr. Period Hackers <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuA63YI8RDU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuA63YI8RDU</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Dr. Bannow first to test menstrual blood on period products! <a href= "https://www.opb.org/article/2023/08/30/ohsu-researchers-test-menstrual-products-with-blood-for-the-first-time/"> https://www.opb.org/article/2023/08/30/ohsu-researchers-test-menstrual-products-with-blood-for-the-first-time/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">FLOW Presenting Sponsor: #Takeda, visit <a href= "http://bleedingdisorders.com/">bleedingdisorders.com</a> to learn more.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Connect with BloodStream Media:</p> <p dir="ltr">Find all of our bleeding disorders podcasts on </p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.bloodstreammedia.com/">BloodStreamMedia.com</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "http://www.facebook.com/BloodStreamMedia">BloodStream on Facebook</a> </p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://twitter.com/BloodStreamInfo">BloodStream on Twitter</a> </p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/bloodstream_media/">BloodStream on Instagram</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@bloodstreammedia?lang=en">BloodStream on TikTok</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/bloodstreammedia/">BloodStream on LinkedIn</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Check out Believe Limited's Other Work:</p> <p dir="ltr">Bombardier Blood: <a href= "https://www.bombardierblood.com/">bombardierblood.com</a></p> <p dir="ltr">My Beautiful Stutter: <a href= "https://www.mybeautifulstutter.com/">mybeautifulstutter.com/</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Stop The Bleeding!: <a href= "https://www.stbhemo.com/">stbhemo.com</a></p> <p dir="ltr">The Science Fair: <a href= "https://www.thesciencefair.org/">thesciencefair.org</a></p> <p dir="ltr">On the Shoulders of Giants: <a href= "https://www.ontheshouldersfilm.com/">https://www.ontheshouldersfilm.com/</a> </p>
