Patient's question:
A friend of mine has a newborn who was recently born, but they have developed neonatal bleeding disease. My friend is very worried and wants to know if neonatal bleeding disease is common.Doctor's answer:
Newborn bleeding is also known as vitamin K deficiency bleeding in newborns. It is a relatively common bleeding disorder in newborns, so the incidence rate is relatively high. In treatment, the first step is to identify the cause. After confirmation, treatment should be administered. Additionally, for children with bleeding, vitamin K should be administered immediately via intramuscular injection to stop bleeding quickly. In cases of severe bleeding with shock, blood or plasma can be transfused immediately to correct hypotension and anemia.
