bleeding disorders

Coagulation system malfunctions

Bleeding disorders are medical conditions in which the blood doesn't clot properly, causing prolonged or excessive bleeding from wounds, surgery, or sometimes spontaneously.

Hemophilia and von Willebrand disease are among the most common.

Some bleeding disorders are inherited; others result from medication, liver disease, or vitamin deficiencies.
