What to expect if I have Von Willebrand disease  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
Prognosis is overall very good, most patients have mild forms of the disease and can expect normal lifespan. Patients with more severe forms of the disease may require treatment and need to avoid contact sports, but prognosis is still generally good. Women who have this condition generally do NOT have excessive bleeding during childbirth.
This disease is passed down through families. Therefore, genetic counseling may help prospective parents understand the risk to their children. </s>
