How to Get Blood to Clot Faster
Instructions
-
-
1
Receive injections of desmopressin (DDAVP). This hormone causes the body to accelerate its own natural clotting mechanism. This treatment can be given by your doctor several times a week as a preventative measure to avoid heavy bleeding in case of injury or trauma.
-
2
Exercise regularly. Regular physical activity strengthens muscles and joints while promoting healthy blood function. Try jogging or swimming in the morning a few times a week. Avoid any kind of exercise that could cause serious injury, such as football or heavy lifting.
-
3
Avoid medicines and drugs that cause your blood to thin. These offending drugs include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin, and heparin.
-
4
If you take vitamin supplements, check with your doctor about the amount of vitamin E you should be taking. Too much vitamin E may cause the blood to thin.
