Lately, I have been bruising so easily, I have been sick in the hospital for a couple days but that was a while ago. I have bruses all over, from small to big ones and I have no idea where I got them. (no my husband did not do it) Especially one bruise I have had for about 4 weeks now on my upper thigh area and it hurts more than any of them. Any suggestions why Im bruising ? Thanks

Answer:

Hi Summer,

I take a medication that thins my blood so I bruise easily.

I hate it. Me too! Everyone thinks my husband is beating on me. Me? Oh no.

Anyway, I hated wearing shorts or sleeveless tops because it looks soooo ugly.

I take K vitamins.

Sometimes it is a vitamin K deficiency. The K helps blood coagulate.

If you want to cover them, that spray-on pantyhose product made by Sally Hanson covers them really well. Can it get at most drugstores!!!!

hope this helps!!

try and get more iron in your diet

might be from bumping around in your sleep, or falling of your bed

Talk to your doctor. This could be a sign of diabetes or MS.

Some people say that is caused by a deficiency of iron. Leafy greens should help. Or iron supplements.

The iron idea souunds good.

plus, some people just plain on bruise easier than others,
