Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Patients whose cause of abnormal bleeding is pregnancy bleeding. 2.Patients who have been diagnosed as VWD in the past. 3.Patients with an underlying disease that causes abnormal platelet function or who have been diagnosed with abnormal platelet function. 4.Patients receiving anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet agent 5.Patients who are pregnant at the time of obtaining consent 6.Patients with definite diagnosis of menorrhagia or dysmenorrhea with abnormal bleeding due to organic (e.g. endometrial polyps, adenomyosis, uterine leiomyoma, intrauterine malignancy, endometrial hyperplasia, etc.) or functional (e.g. ovulation disorder, endometrial dysfunction, etc.) gynecological diseases. 7.Others who are judged by the investigator or the subinvestigator to be inappropriate for participation in this study, such as those whose menorrhagia or dysmenorrhea with abnormal bleeding is clearly caused by a disease other than VWD.
