How long does it take to bleed to death from your leg? my friend is really stubborn and won t go to the hospital, and he has a few deep cuts on his leg. He got them to quit bleeding when the incident happened but he ended up scratching his leg cuz it itched and tore them open accidently and they havent quit bleeding since.

hi,
The effects of blood loss depend on a person's general state of health(anaemia), the amount of blood lost, and how quickly it was lost.
How long blood is not stopping?
Does it happen earlier that blood doesnot stop for long?
Check if you have haemophilia.
Go to doctor he will do tests BT ,CT and check for signs of blood loss.
