Blood Disorders

Blood disorders

Blood disorders happen when there's something wrong with your blood, which can affect your overall health. They can involve issues with the different parts of your blood: red blood cells (which carry oxygen), white blood cells (which fight infections), or platelets (which help with blood clotting).

Some common blood disorders include:

• Anemia: When you don’t have enough red blood cells, making you feel tired and weak.
• Bleeding disorders: Like hemophilia, where your blood doesn’t clot properly, causing excessive bleeding.
• Blood clots: When blood clumps together too much, which can lead to blockages in your veins or arteries.

While some blood disorders might not cause noticeable symptoms or need treatment, others can be chronic and require medical care.
