What Cause Bleeding To Grow Onto What Ever Touching It?

Whenever I bleed, like a cut on the leg, anything that touches the place thats bleeding, like long pants, blankets, etc, the blood will sort of "grow onto" whatevers touching it, when i seperate them it feels like pulling of a scab and can be painful, Im just wondering if this is normal

Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.





It seems that you are suffering from mild variants of Bleeding disorders. You need to undergo FBC (Full blood count), peripheral blood smear examination, platelet count, Bleeding time,Whole blood clotting time and a coagulation screen
Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)
Prothrombin time (PT)
These initial tests can be done in any good primary laboratory.
If coagulation screen is abnormal pointing towards coagulation disorder you may have to undergo in special hematology laboratory
-Specific factor assays - factors VIII or IX ; factor VIII and vWF in vWD.if these tests are all normal,then
-tests for deficiencies of clotting factors other than FVIII, FIX, and FXI ,which are rare Bleeding Disorders but can cause relatively minor problems as you have mentioned,though often remains asymptomatic.

Regards
