Bleeding Disorders 101
Bleeding disorders are when the blood does not clot properly due to a deficiency or malfunction of clotting factor proteins or platelets. Bleeding disorders cause the body to bleed longer and more frequently than someone without a bleeding disorder. If left untreated, bleeding disorders can lead to chronic pain, arthritis, deformity, and disability.
