A member asked:
Dx mild type1 von willebrand. no family history or symptoms prior to age30. get petechiae daily now. could it still be hereditary type 1 or more likely acquired vwd? most causes of acquired vwd are bad, so i'm concerned about doc's lack of concern.

Likely congenital: Unlikely acquired at your age. Most common type is Type 1. Need the testing details. Nasal DDAVP helps decrease bruising. Talk with your hematologist. Hope this helps.
