13 Body Signals Indian Doctors Wish You Wouldn't Ignore

11. Unusual bleeding or easy bruising

New bleeding from gums, nosebleeds that are hard to stop, blood in stools or urine, or easy bruising without injury all need investigation. These signs may indicate problems with blood clotting, platelet disorders, liver disease, or side effects from medicines such as blood thinners. Over-the-counter pain relievers and some herbal remedies can also affect clotting, so tell your doctor about all medications and supplements. Initial tests often include a complete blood count and coagulation profile; further tests depend on findings. When bleeding is heavy, persistent, or accompanied by fainting or dizziness, seek urgent care. For minor, unexplained bruises, arrange prompt blood tests and specialist referral when results are abnormal to find the underlying cause.
