Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
The blood tests are done by removing blood from veins from a peripheral vein and after sampling they will compress it and put a plaster to stop bleeding.
And there is no risk of excessive bleeding from puncture site.
The puncture site is easily controlled with plaster.
So nothing to worry and you can go for blood testing safely.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
