why am i bleeding so much?

[ShatteredWings]

seriously.

this is a little weird

i've never been that delicate..

but the past few days, whenever a scratch is re-opend, or if the cat gets me again, it bleeds A LOT..its creepy cause before, it might've not even been notisable.

like, example, yesterday, i was @the movie theater, and i accidentaly opend a scab on my arm (idk how lol), and it took like 1/2hr before it stoped bleeding...WITH me putting preasuer on it. the scratch(not cut-- it wans't intentional) wasn't deep, or big..

this is creeping me out

Are you taking any new meds? Some medication can thin out blood, and make you bleed easier.

[george]

I'm not sure but maybe its what your eating? Or maybe you took some aspirin which is supose to thin out your blood? I'm not sure, but it could be a couple of things.

[ShatteredWings]

haha, i'm not on any medications(thaat dosnt mean i hsouldnt be, it means my mom dosnt like the idea of me seeing a doctor).

this just started randomly'

funny is its not that scary, but i'm kinda creeped out. cause it hapend so sudnely

have you started eating a lot of oily stuff? Like fish?

[foof1]

you need to tell your parents and go see a doctor. it might be serious.

[Mr. Smithers]

Yeah you have little or no blood platelets probably.

Nothing to be afraid about. Take some antibiotics.

If you don't go to the doctor you might have to get a transfusion. :(

ew no


hm, i do however see one upside

it's convinced me NOT to try to do anything stuipd

[MoveAlong]

girl;305566']ew no

well I'm just saying that when I eat a lot of oily foods like fish, my blood is a little thinner and I bleed a lot more. But hey whatever.

I suggest you be careful and ask your doctor sometime.

[My_Toes_Are_Cold]

It doesn't sound serious right now, but it could be something that develops and gets worse.

As stated before, just call your doctor. It may be a shit diet or taking too much aspirin or birth control or something. You can't be a hemophiliac, as you can only get it at birth and men are the ones who usually have it.

[AutumnDae]

Do you have a lot of unexplained bruises? That don't hurt when you touch them? I think you should consider going to the doctor and getting a blood test. I have a blood disorder in which my blood doesn't clot correctly, (not hemophilia). You should seriously consider going to the doctor.

[Ryandel]

The following medical conditions are some of the possible causes of Bleeding symptoms. There are likely to be other possible causes, so ask your doctor about your symptoms.

(some of the following , were taken out from my medical textbooks)
* Injury
* Hemorrhage
* Allergic states
* Hemorrhagic fevers
* Blood Disorder
- Hemophilia
- Von Willebrand's disease
* Cancer
* Scurvy
* Thrombocytopenia
* Leukemia
* Aplastic anemia
* Septicemia
* Malaria
* Typhoid fever
* Certain medications

These can all be causes for excessive bleeding. But the bleeding can really depend on location and size of the cut.
All I can advice is to consult your doctor, if nothing changes within a week or two. If that's the case then please visit your doctor.

sounds like Hemophila to me. I would say a docotor ASAP.

It's might not be necessarily hemophilia. Could be just a low blood plate count, cause by a few epidemiologicals for it.
