A member asked:

Last year i got a hematoma after donating platelets. today, i had to stop a donation due to hematoma risk. is donating once or twice a month too much?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: NO- your blood is always checked before donation. You can certainly donate once a month without issues; however, I advise consulting with your PCP regarding hematoma ( usually related to the venipuncture).
