Why Do I Bleed Easily After An Injury?
I am 55 and in very good health. Work outside and have noticed that i tend to bleed more easily than before when i get scrapes. I have noticed this for the past three months. Bleeding stops quickly, No medications, currently i have five or six scabs on my arms from trees and brush.

Hi,
Bleeding easily what you have noticed could be due to 2 reasons:
1. Vitamin K deficiency.
2. Disorders in your coagulation system.
Kindly get the following coagulation profile tests done.
1. Bleeding time (BT).
2. Clotting time (CT).
3. Prothrombin time (PT).
4. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT).
Kindly consult Physician with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
