What Slows Down The Process Of Blood Withdrawal And Clotting?
Hey, I'm 17, 5 foot 2, and weigh 134 and i donated blood yesterday and they said my blood was coming out a lot slower than others' and they said I have smaller veins. I took the bandage off when i got home and it was still bleeding and didn't stop until this morning which is almost 16 hours while everybody else's stopped within like an hour. I was jusr wondering if it's something I should be concerned about or if it's normal

Your blood is withdraw very slowly is not the problem. many persons have smaller vein and it takes more time then the usual to donate blood. but if it bleeding after 16 hrs. then definitly it is the problematic sign. you may have coagulation disorder. or any other disease. you should go to the doctor and take treatment according to his advise
