What is BLEEDING TIME (BT)?

This test measures how long it takes for small blood vessels to stop bleeding after a tiny cut. It helps assess your body's ability to form a clot and stop bleeding effectively.

Why is this test important?

A prolonged bleeding time can indicate issues with platelet function or blood vessel integrity, which are crucial for proper clotting. It's often used to screen for bleeding disorders or to assess risk before surgery.

How to Prepare

Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, especially aspirin or blood thinners, as they can affect the results.
