背景。出血问题在一般人群中普遍存在，但可能表明一般出血性疾病。我们的目的是描述在年轻健康女性中发现的出血症状的流行情况，包括月经过多。方法。在学校护士的帮助下，我们向瑞典马尔默镇高中一年级的所有女孩（n = 1410）分发了一份问卷。我们收到了1019份（72%）回复。问卷包括17个主要问题，涉及一般出血问题、月经和经期出血问题、家族史和其他健康相关问题。结果。这些女孩的平均年龄为16.7岁。8名女孩先前被诊断出出血性疾病，并且大多数出血症状的频率更高。73%的女孩至少有一种出血症状，43%有一种以上症状，23%有两种以上症状，10%有三种以上症状。37%的人经历过月经过多，其中22%的人服用了不同的药物来治疗月经过多。38%的人有月经量大的家族史，其中一半的人自己也有月经量大的问题。结论。出血症状在该人群中相对普遍，与其他基于人群的研究相似。
Background. Bleeding problems are prevalent in the general population but may indicate a general bleeding disorder. Our aim was to describe the prevalence of perceived bleeding symptoms, including menorrhagia, in young healthy females. Methods. By aid of school nurses we distributed a questionnaire to all girls ( n = 1,410) in the first grade of the upper secondary schools in the town of Malmo, Sweden. We received 1,019 (72%) responses. The questionnaire consisted of 17 main questions addressing general bleeding problems, menses and menstrual bleeding problems, family history, and other health related questions. Results. The mean age of the girls was 16.7 years. Eight girls had a previously diagnosed bleeding disorder and had a higher frequency of most bleeding symptoms. Seventy-three percent of girls experienced at least one bleeding symptom, 43% had more than one symptom, 23% were troubled by more than two symptoms, and 10% more than three symptoms. Thirty-seven percent experienced heavy menstruation and of these 22% had different drugs as treatment for menorrhagia. Thirty-eight percent had a family history of heavy menstruation and half of them suffered from heavy menstruation themselves. Conclusions. Bleeding symptoms were relatively prevalent in this population and similar to other population-based studies.
