With AA and MDS the symptoms of easy bruising, nose bleeds, red spots, bleeding gums and prolonged bleeding are varying degrees of haemorrhaging. These are all problems resulting from a low platelet count. If you find you are haemorrhaging in any way, contact your doctor to arrange a transfusion of platelets.
