What causes bleeding in newborns?

When a newborn baby has bleeding spots, you should pay attention to it. There are many reasons for bleeding spots in children. In addition to some skin diseases caused by adverse stimulation and influence on the skin, the most common cause is purpura, which includes simple purpura, allergic purpura, and thrombocytopenic purpura. This is relatively harmful to the child, so you must conduct a good examination in time and then use good methods to treat it.

What causes bleeding in newborns?

First, simple purpura.

The cause is unknown, and symptoms often recur and resolve on their own. The test results showed that there were no problems with blood routine and coagulation. There is no need to worry too much about this type of bleeding spots. Generally, no treatment is required, and the baby's health and growth will not be affected.

Second, allergic purpura.

This is a type of vascular allergic bleeding, which is an allergic reaction to a certain allergen, causing increased capillary permeability and fragility. The presence of bleeding spots on the skin indicates cutaneous allergic purpura. Routine blood examination is normal, and routine urine examination plus sediment may show occult blood and protein. This disease has many causes, and babies with allergies and poor immunity are more likely to get it, but it is difficult to find out all the allergens and avoid the causes. Allergens: clothing, food, medicine, bacteria, viruses, dust, etc.

Third, thrombocytopenic purpura.

This disease causes bleeding spots due to thrombocytopenia. The most common is idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, which is more common in babies aged 3-9 years. A history of upper respiratory tract infection, particularly a viral infection, in the previous 1-3 weeks. The blood test results showed abnormalities. If this happens, you should go to the local hospital in time for further examination and treatment. We would like to remind everyone that antipyretic and analgesic drugs have a great impact on blood routine. Since the baby is young, it is forbidden to abuse antipyretic and analgesic drugs. The drugs must be used according to the doctor's orders. If the platelet count is abnormal, it is forbidden to use drugs containing this ingredient. Such as: ibuprofen (Motrin), acetaminophen (such as Sanjiu Cold Granules), nimesulide, etc.

We know that the clinical manifestations of leukemia are anemia, bleeding, infection and infiltration of various organs, and there may also be bleeding point symptoms. So is it leukemia or the bleeding spots caused by the above reasons? In this regard, once a child has bleeding spots, he or she should go to a regular hospital for examination, diagnosis and treatment. Both Henoch-Schonlein purpura and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura are benign blood diseases, and even if they occur, the cure rate is very high. I hope everyone has a scientific understanding of the causes of bleeding and does not become afraid of the word blood. May the babies grow up healthily!
