A member asked:
Doctors, what is the difference between hypercoaguability and bleeding disorders?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Opposite: hypercoaguability = abnormal tendency to form clot. Bleeding disorder implies bleeding and failure or abnormal formation of clot.

Clotting / bleeding: Hypercoagulable means that there is an increased tendency to clot. This can predispose one to developing DVT or pulmonary embolism. Bleeding disorder is just the opposite . People with this problem have an increased tendency to bleed such as in hemophilia.
