D68.09: Von Willebrand disease, unspecified
Your blood is clotting too slowly.
For blood to be able to clot, many proteins have to work together in the blood. You have too little of one of these proteins in your blood. As a result, your blood is clotting too slowly. The coagulation disorder can make you bleed more easily or bruise more often. However, the coagulation disorder may also give you no symptoms.
