How do you know if aspirin is causing bleeding?
How do you know if aspirin is causing bleeding? Because aspirin helps to stop your blood from clotting, it can sometimes make you bleed more easily. For example, you may get nosebleeds and bruise more easily, and if you cut yourself, the bleeding may take longer than normal to stop. Be careful when doing activities that might cause an injury or a cut.
How much does aspirin increase bleeding?
Even at low- or very low-doses, aspirin increases the risk of bleeding and other harms. Major GI bleeding risk increases by about 58% and hemorrhagic stroke by about 27% among participants in very low-dose aspirin trials, but absolute bleeding events will vary depending on individual bleeding risks.
