Blood clotting disorders are conditions that affect the body's ability to form clots properly, leading to either excessive bleeding or dangerous clot formation. These disorders result from deficiencies in clotting factors, abnormalities in platelets, or genetic mutations affecting coagulation proteins like Factor V Leiden or prothrombin. The Prothrombin Time (PT) with INR and Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) is the most important test for diagnosing blood clotting disorders.

Blood clotting disorders are caused by genetic mutations, acquired conditions affecting clotting factors, or abnormalities in the coagulation cascade. Inherited forms like hemophilia result from deficiencies in specific clotting factors such as Factor VIII or Factor IX, while conditions like Factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A mutation cause excessive clotting. Acquired causes include liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, autoimmune conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome, and medications such as warfarin or heparin that affect the clotting process.
The Prothrombin Time (PT) with INR and Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) is the most important test for blood clotting disorders because it evaluates both major clotting pathways in your blood. The PT/INR measures the extrinsic pathway and factors II, V, VII, and X, while the PTT assesses the intrinsic pathway and factors VIII, IX, XI, and XII. A high INR indicates increased bleeding risk, while a low INR suggests higher clotting risk. Together, these tests identify which part of the clotting system is affected and help diagnose conditions like hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, thrombophilia, and monitor blood-thinning medication effectiveness.
You should get tested if you experience unexplained bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts or dental work, frequent nosebleeds, unusually heavy menstrual periods, or blood in your urine or stool. Testing is also important if you have a family history of bleeding or clotting disorders, recurrent miscarriages, unexplained blood clots like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, or before starting blood-thinning medications. If you notice unusual swelling in your legs, chest pain with breathing difficulty, or wounds that bleed excessively, seek immediate testing and medical attention.

What this means
Your testosterone levels are slightly below the optimal range. While this is not necessarily cause for concern, it may contribute to occasional fatigue, reduced motivation, or lower muscle mass over time.
Recommended actions
Increase resistance or strength training
Prioritize 7–8 hours of quality sleep per night, try to reduce stress
Include more zinc- and magnesium-rich foods (like shellfish, beef, pumpkin seeds, spinach)
Consider retesting in 3–6 months
Not overhyped or overpriced. Just comprehensive blood testing made simple and for everyone.
