Bleeding disorder refers to a situation in which the coagulation system of the human body can not restrain blood from various body parts. For example, the body parts suffering from these disorders are nose and gums. Apart from this, too much menstrual bleeding is also a sign of bleeding disorder. Another type of hemorrhagic disorder occurs and occurs when the cutting site and the injured site are not occluded by the clotting process in order to prevent blood flow.
Cause of bleeding disorder
There are two main causes of bleeding disorder.
1 - You can inherit it from your ancestor known as a genetic cause.
2 - Non-genetic causes cause antibodies in your blood, weaken the coagulation system of blood, causing bleeding disorder. These causes include red blood cell and blood vessel damage, liver disease and renal failure, eclampsia after pregnancy, low platelets, vitamin K deficiency, excessive drug use such as aspirin, and so on.
Three common bleeding disorders are hemophilia A, hemophilia B and von Willebrand disease. The first two obstacles are common to men, but the last one can affect both sexes.
Diagnosis and treatment of haemophilia A
Haemophilia A is caused by the deficiency of coagulation factor VIII from the blood, which results in prolonged bleeding. This disease is generally given to male children from mothers at birth. The main symptoms of this bleeding disorder include cuts, wounds, gingiva and unlimited bleeding after dental or surgery. The presence of this disorder can also be confirmed by the blood in excreted excrement. In some cases it can lead to brain and death damage.
To diagnose this disease, the patient undergoes a blood test to determine the amount of clotting factor VIII in the blood. Treatment of this bleeding disorder has been developed through years of research.
1 - In the early years, donated blood containing a good percentage of coagulation factor VIII was inferred in the patient's body, which posed a threat to the transfer of diseases such as AIDS.
2 - Today, the patient is infected with a coagulation factor VIII containing substance (synthetic blood) and the appropriate level of this ingredient is recognized by the blood.
Diagnosis and treatment of hemophilia B
Although not more common than type A, hemophilia B is still diagnosed in more than one male and is also known as Christmas disease. The main reason for its occurrence is the deficiency of coagulation factor IX. Symptoms include excessive bleeding that does not stop within the expected time. Bleeding from the nose, bleeding in the urinary tract, contusion, passage of blood during excretion are other common symptoms.
A blood test to know the damage caused by coagulation factor IX is recommended by the doctor for the diagnosis of this disease. For the treatment of patients suffering from type B disorders, other recommended substances by plasma infusion and injection are recommended, and the deficiency amount of the coagulation factor is restored.
Von Willebrand disease
The deficiency of von Willebrand factor (also known as platelet protein) can cause this disorder in both men and women. The main symptoms of this disorder include contusion, bleeding from the nose, and prolonged bleeding after the surgical procedure. In addition, women suffering from this disorder may experience abnormal levels of menstrual bleeding. Four variations of this obstacle include:
Type I
Type II
Type III
- Pseudo von Willebrand disease
Your doctor can suggest a diagnostic test if you suspect the existence of this disorder. Injection to restore the percentage of platelet proteins is the best treatment to address this disorder. Nasal spray also helps to prevent recurrence.
Ongoing research is expected to develop new treatments and treatments for bleeding disorders to ensure a healthy life for all individuals.
For your health!
