Von Willebrand's disease: Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

Von Willebrand’s disease produces easy bruising, epistaxis, and bleeding from the gums. Petechiae are rarely seen. Severe forms of this disease may cause hemorrhage after laceration or surgery, menorrhagia, and GI bleeding. Excessive postpartum bleeding is uncommon because factor VIII levels and bleeding time abnormalities become less pronounced during pregnancy. Massive soft-tissue hemorrhage and bleeding into joints seldom occur. Severity of bleeding may lessen with age, and bleeding episodes occur sporadically — a patient may bleed excessively after one dental extraction but not after another.
