Though the history of hemophilia is well recorded, it has long emphasized the male experience and severe disease forms.
A new narrative review by Megan Chaigneau et al. traces the evolution of beliefs about women and hemophilia from the pre-1800s to today, identifying 9 key historical periods where scientific shifts occurred.
The review underscores the dismissal of women’s bleeding symptoms throughout history, with 1990 marking a pivotal point of broader recognition that women can also be affected.
Despite progress in understanding and testing, recent literature reveals ongoing challenges including delayed diagnoses and untreated symptoms.
Though ‘The history of women and hemophilia: a narrative review of evolving beliefs and testing practices‘ article published in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis sheds light, continued research and advocacy are essential to close these gaps and ensure equitable care for women with hemophilia.
