Maia Meier: Recognising Bleeding Disorders Through the 7-2-1 Rule
Maia Meier, Clinical Exercise Physiologist at Maia Letitia Fitness, shared European Haemophilia Consortium‘s post on LinkedIn:
“Heavy menstrual bleeding is often dismissed as something women and girls simply have to live with.
But heavy bleeding isn’t always normal, and it can be a sign of an underlying bleeding disorder.
I love this resource from the European Haemophilia Consortium (EHC)!
Their 7-2-1 rule is a simple, practical tool to help women and girls recognize when their menstrual bleeding may warrant further investigation.
Awareness is such an important first step toward earlier diagnosis and access to appropriate care.
Proud to have EHC as our European partner in Project Elevate Her’s Care Beyond Borders Antarctica campaign, helping bring greater awareness to the challenges women and girls face in accessing diagnosis and care, wherever they live.
Have you heard of the 7-2-1 rule before?”
European Haemophilia Consortium shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Heavy periods are not something women and girls should have to ‘just live with’.
The EHC Women and Bleeding Disorders Committee has developed practical resources to help women and girls recognise when menstrual bleeding is heavy, and to know when to seek answers.
Our ‘Heavy isn’t normal’ materials show what normal bleeding looks like, and what doesn’t.
They include the 7-2-1 rule infographic and a factsheet on understanding heavy menstrual bleeding, among other resources.
Heavy periods can be linked to an inherited bleeding disorder, and earlier diagnosis starts with better awareness.
This matters wherever a woman lives.
That is the heart of Project Elevate Her’s Antarctica 2026 campaign, ‘Care Beyond Borders’: no woman or girl should face barriers to diagnosis, treatment, or care because of where she lives.
EHC is proud to take part as the European partner, alongside Project Elevate Her Founder Maia Meier and other partner organisations worldwide, such as World Federation of Hemophilia, Bleeding Disorders Canada / Troubles de la coagulation Canada, National Bleeding Disorders Foundation, and Haemophilia Foundation Australia.
