The objective of the study was to determine the frequency, types, presenting symptoms and management options in patients with bleeding disorders in the local obstetric and gynaecological practice. This was a descriptive study of oneyear duration conducted at the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission General Hospital, Islamabad. Types of bleeding disorders in decreasing order of frequency were HELLP syndrome in 27.7% (n=5), gestational thrombocytopenia in 22% (n=4), Von Willbrand disease in 16.66% (n=3), Glanzmann's thrombesthenia in 11.11% (n=2), autoimmune haemolytic anaemia in 11.11% (n=2), post-transfusion purpura in 6% (n=1) and factor V deficiency in 6% (n=1). HELLP syndrome and gestational thrombocytopenia were the commonest bleeding disorders in pregnant patients and Von Willebrand disease is the the commonest bleeding disorder in gynaecological patients with menorrhagia.
