Depends: Good question. Treatment depends on which bleeding disorder. Some require lots of treatment. Others need monitoring and avoiding medications like aspirin. Still others may mean no change for you but possible concerns for your children. Which bleeding disorder are you wondering about?

Depends: If your clotting factors are looking low and you need surgery, you may be given fresh frozen plasma beforehand (this contains clotting factors ).If your platelet count is low, they can give you those during surgery.
