Is thin blood, heavy bleeding unhealthy?

Question

I work in a shop where I get cut sometimes. That's not the problem.

When I do get cut, I bleed constantly, and it's hard to stop the flow. My friend says that I have thin blood.

Is this good or bad or does it not matter much?

I don't drink or take any medications. So, if this is something bad, I want to know what I can do to change it. Do I need to add something to my diet? Do I need to exercise more?

I just hate bleeding so much when I get hurt.

Answer 1

You should probably get a blood test called an "INR"

this shows how thin your blood is.

The reason to check it, is if you do have thin blood, or blood that does not clot, a car accident, where you are unconscious, could involve deadly bleeding, if you can't stem the bleeding.

Help might be too late in that Case.

Answer 2

It can be unhealthy in certain circumstances where very heavy bleeding can cause hypovolemic shock.  It is possible you are missing some clotting factors.  See a physician and have blood work done.

Answer 3

yes ,
