Patient's question:
I was born less than 24 hours ago and started vomiting blood. The doctor checked and said it's a natural bleeding condition. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
This disease is also known as neonatal bleeding disease, primarily caused by bleeding due to normal platelets. This disease is mainly due to a lack of prothrombin in the blood, a deficiency of vitamin K, and liver dysfunction. Natural bleeding occurs when clotting factors drop to 20% of adult levels within one week after birth. Due to the limited vitamin K transferred through the placenta and the low storage in the fetal liver, the synthesis of vitamin K is low in the intestines at birth, which have no bacteria. The treatment for this disease is primarily vitamin K therapy. This disease is mainly treated with vitamin K therapy.
