If you or someone in your family experiences frequent bruising, nosebleeds, or prolonged bleeding after minor injuries, it could indicate a platelet or bleeding disorder. These conditions may seem minor at first but can lead to serious health issues if not diagnosed and treated on time. I’m Dr. Akshay Lahoti, a hematologist in Indore, and I specialize in treating blood-related conditions. In this blog, I will explain what these disorders are, their symptoms, and how Expert Treatment in Indore by Dr. Akshay Lahoti can help you or your loved ones live healthier lives.
What Are Platelet and Bleeding Disorders?
Our blood needs platelets to form clots and stop bleeding. When there’s a problem with platelet count or function, the body may struggle to control bleeding. Bleeding disorders may be inherited (passed down from family) or acquired due to infections, medications, autoimmune conditions, or bone marrow problems.
Common platelet and bleeding disorders I treat include:
-
Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count)
-
Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)
-
Hemophilia
-
Von Willebrand Disease
-
Platelet Function Disorders
-
Hypercoagulable Disorders (blood clotting issues)
-
Purpura
-
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
At my clinic near AB Road, L.I.G Square, Rss Nagar, patients benefit from Expert Treatment in Indore by Dr. Akshay Lahoti using the latest diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.
Signs You Should Not Ignore
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it’s essential to get evaluated by a hematologist:
-
Easy or frequent bruising
-
Excessive bleeding from small cuts
-
Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
-
Nosebleeds that are hard to stop
-
Blood in urine or stool
-
Petechiae (small red or purple spots on the skin)
These symptoms might look harmless at first but can be indicators of serious underlying blood disorders. Expert Treatment in Indore by Dr. Akshay Lahoti ensures that these warning signs are not overlooked, and patients receive timely, accurate care.
Causes and Diagnosis
Platelet and bleeding disorders may arise due to various causes including:
-
Autoimmune destruction of platelets (as in ITP)
-
Viral infections

Genetic disorders
-
Medications (like chemotherapy or antibiotics)

Bone marrow diseases
At Medicare Hospital and my clinic in Indore, I offer comprehensive diagnostic evaluations including CBC, coagulation profiles, platelet function tests, and bone marrow biopsies if needed.
