The bleeding can occur anywhere on the inside or outside of the body. When the bleeding occurs inside the body, it can be difficult to notice.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vitamin K helps to make various proteins that are needed for blood clotting and the building of bones.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which the blood doesn’t clot in the typical way because it doesn’t have enough blood-clotting proteins (clotting factors).

Detailed explanation-4: -Vitamin K plays a crucial role in blood coagulation, which is the process by which the body forms clots to stop bleeding. Vitamin K acts as a cofactor for a group of proteins known as the vitamin K-dependent clotting factors (II, VII, IX, and X ), which are involved in the activation of blood-clotting proteins.
