What is the name of a disease that cannot be stopped once bleeding occurs

Diseases that cannot be stopped once bleeding occurs are usually related to coagulation dysfunction, including hemophilia, hemophilia, thrombocytopenic purpura, vitamin K deficiency, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and other diseases.

1. Hemophilia:

Hemophilia is a hereditary coagulation factor deficiency disease, in which the absence of coagulation factor VIII or IX causes the blood to fail to clot normally. After minor trauma, patients may experience bleeding in the joint cavity, muscles, or internal organs, and require regular infusion of clotting factors as a replacement therapy. The typical manifestation is delayed bleeding, which occurs several hours after injury and continues to bleed.

2. Von Willebrand:

Von Willebrand is a hemorrhagic disease caused by a deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor. Common symptoms include mucosal bleeding such as nosebleeds, gum bleeding, and excessive menstrual bleeding in women. This disease can be treated by infusing plasma products containing von Willebrand factor or using vasopressin.

3. Thrombocytopenic purpura:

Decreased platelet count or abnormal function can lead to the appearance of petechiae and ecchymoses on the skin, and in severe cases, spontaneous bleeding may occur. Patients with immune thrombocytopenia need to be treated with glucocorticoids or immunoglobulins, and some cases require splenectomy surgery. When the platelet count is below 20 × 10 ⁹/L, there may be dangerous situations such as intracranial hemorrhage.

4. Vitamin K deficiency:

Vitamin K is an essential substance for synthesizing coagulation factors II, VII, IX, and X. Newborns or those who use antibiotics for a long time are prone to deficiency. Manifesting as umbilical cord stump bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc., can be quickly corrected by intramuscular injection of vitamin K. Adult deficiencies are often related to absorption disorders or excessive use of anticoagulant drugs.

5. Diffuse intravascular coagulation:

DIC is an overactivation of the coagulation system caused by various serious diseases, manifested as widespread microthrombus formation and consumptive coagulation disease throughout the body. The patient has both bleeding tendency and organ embolism symptoms, and needs to actively treat the primary disease and supplement coagulation factors and platelets. Commonly seen in severe infections, malignant tumors, or obstetric emergencies.

For individuals with abnormal bleeding tendencies, it is recommended to regularly test coagulation parameters, platelet count, and other indicators. In daily life, one should avoid vigorous exercise and external injuries, and use a soft bristled toothbrush to prevent gum bleeding. Pay attention to supplementing green leafy vegetables rich in vitamin K in diet. Deep sea fish can provide omega-3 fatty acids that promote blood clotting. Female patients should pay special attention to the amount of bleeding during their menstrual period and use anti fibrinolytic drugs if necessary. If any unexplained bleeding persists for more than 20 minutes or the amount of bleeding is significant, immediate medical attention should be sought for professional evaluation and treatment.
