A young man was diagnosed with a bacterial bladder infection and was prescribed antibiotics. He was told to ingest one pill everyday for one week. Antibiotics are a type of medicine that kill bacteria that cause disease. Sometimes antibiotics kill good bacteria too. Two weeks later the young man goes back to the doctor. He cut himself accidentally and the bleeding won’t stop. Why could the young man have this new problem?

this is probably because the infection caused the blood clots to die off and they can’t stop the scrap from the skin. this is what i think but i’m not entirely sure if this is correct. might have to check someone else but hope this helps :)
