Willebrand-Jürgens Syndrome: Symptoms, Complaints, Signs

The following symptoms and complaints may indicate Willebrand-Jürgens syndrome:

Main symptoms

  • Tendency to bleed for long periods of time; manifests primarily after surgery (e.g., tooth extraction)
  • Tendency to roßflächige hematomas (bruises).
  • Menorrhagia – bleeding is prolonged (> 6 days) and increased
  • Frequent recurrent (always recurring) epistaxis (nosebleeds).
