Why Do I Bruise So Easily?

Answer 1

I have just consulted my doctor and still wait for my report. The doctor said it could be the purpura. Is it serious? It can be cured, right?

Hello Grandy, Purpura can be connected with a list of underlying diseases, in order to cure it your doctor will give you various tests to find out the root cause. The root causes can be low platelet counts, medication, blood vessel problems, etc. Normally having purpura is not a life-threatening condition but if you have bleeding in the brain it can be deadly. But this happens very rarely. All the best. HTQ

Answer 2

Purpura is a potential cause to repeated bruising.

Purpura occurs when small blood vessels leak blood under the skin.

Purpura measure between 4 and 10 mm (millimeters) in diameter. When purpura spots are less than 4 mm in diameter, they are called petechiae. Purpura spots larger than 1 cm (centimeter) are called ecchymoses.

Platelets help the blood clot. A person with purpura may have normal platelet counts (non-thrombocytopenic purpuras) or low platelet counts (thrombocytopenic purpuras).

Answer 3

If you bruise more often than usual, it's possibly linked to these conditions. 

• Low levels of the blood components that help it clot after injury (platelets)
• Abnormally functioning platelets
• Problems with proteins that help the blood clot

To confirm you'll need blood tests.

I personally bruise often, usually notice new bruises at night and I didn't notice any blow in the day. I got all the blood tests, mine are all right. So even if you do have bruises, it doesn't mean you must be sick.
