Excessive Bleeding or Bruising

While hemophilia is a well-known genetic disease that results in excessive bleeding due to dysfunction of the mechanisms of hemostasis, many individuals without known genetic traits also suffer from frequent nosebleeds, bleeding gums, bruising, and other forms of excessive bleeding. In some cases, this can be the result of an underlying hypothyroid condition [Starr2005, pg 151].
