Abstract
The follicle ruptures at the time of ovulation and fills with blood, forming a corpus hemorrhagicum. Minor bleeding from the follicle into the abdominal cavity may cause peritoneal irritation and, when occurring in a patient with a defect of primary hemostasis, hemoperitoneum can occur. Von Willebrand disease and afibrinogenemia are 2 important bleeding disorders in which both primary hemostasis and coagulation are involved. Bleeding during ovulation is 1 major clinical complication in women with these diseases. The authors examined 3 patients with this hemorrhagic complication and data show that oral contraceptives are an effective means to avoid hemoperitoneum. author's modified
