📖What is Prolonged Bleeding?

Prolonged bleeding is bleeding that continues for an unusually long time after an injury, cut, dental procedure, or surgery, or that is difficult to stop with standard first aid measures like direct pressure. It can indicate a problem with the blood's ability to clot normally, whether from a platelet disorder, clotting factor deficiency, or medication effect. It may occur alongside easy bruising or frequent nosebleeds.
