Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Bleeding symptoms. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you had bleeding symptoms? - determines if acute or chronic; acquired or inherited.
- Is bruising abnormal and out of proportion to the offending injury? - suggests a disturbance of coagulation.
- Is bleeding from multiple sites? - suggests the presence of a systemic bleeding defect.
- Is bleeding spontaneous? - suggests the presence of a systemic bleeding defect.
- Does bleeding occur immediately after trauma or is it delayed? - if immediate suggests platelet defect; if delayed i.e. 24 hrs after trauma it suggests a coagulation factor deficiency.
See Diagnosis Checklist for Bleeding symptoms (22 listings)
Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Bleeding symptoms) may include:
- Easy bruising - purpura ( multiple small hemorrhages into the skin or mucous membranes); petechiae (small pinhead size purpura); ecchymoses ( large purpura).
- If petechiae are present, are they palpable - if palpable it suggests due to an underlying vasculitis affecting small vessels e.g. polyarteritis nodosa; if not palpable it suggests due to a platelet defect.
- Blood in urine
- Heavy menstrual periods
- Bleeding nose
