What is a Bleeding Disorder?
Normally, platelets bind together to create a seal at the injured blood vessel. Then the proteins or clotting factors come to form a clot. This keeps the platelets in place and prevents blood from flowing out of the blood vessel allow it to heal.
A bleeding disorder is a condition where the body is not forming a blood clot properly, because there is a deficiency or absence of the necessary elements (proteins or platelets) in the blood that are required to make bleeding stop. Without a proper clot, an uncontrolled bleed can occur. Uncontrolled bleeding can be painful and cause serious health issues.
