Treating Patients With Bleeding Disorders
By
A bleeding disorder is a condition in which the normal blood clotting process is interrupted due to a deficiency or defect of one or more of the clotting factors necessary to form a blood clot. A deficiency/defect of one or more clotting factors raises the risk for excessive and prolonged bleeding.1 Symptoms of bleeding disorders include prolonged bleeding, oral bleeding, multiple nosebleeds, heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), and spontaneous bleeding.2 Although excessive gingival bleeding is often reported, studies show that this may not be a true symptom of bleeding disorders.3–5
