Easily bruising?!
Question: I keep bruising really easily. More so than ever before. I've never bruised this easily before ever... it used to be pretty hard for it to happen to me, but now it is constanly, and I don't know why. I know how bruising happens from an answer I got from a previous question, but is there some reason why it could be happening so frequently? Like a vitamin deficiency maybe?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I'm always getting bruises and I have no idea how!! I'm very clumsy and bruise easily.
They say that you bruise easily if you have anemia (a lack of iron) or worst case scenario cancer.
I doubt you have cancer!!
Do you eat much red meat?
Ask a GP or your GYN. Don't take advice here for a potential medical condition.
Im not sure why you would start bruising easily all the sudden. There are medical conditions people are born with that cause them to bruise easily, but since yours came on all the sudden you might want to talk to a dcotor about this...
You could try and take a multivitamin for a week or so and see if that helps, but I would go see a doctor first. That would be your best answer. I can't tell you why you are bruising, except to say that you might want to see your doctor soon. You might have somehting causing your bruising other than vitamin deficiency.
It's probably no big deal, but since it started suddenly, you should probably see a doctor especially if you get many nosebleeds or feel tired a lot.
I've always bruised very easily too. I was borderline anemic for a while after I was sick with a terrible case of mononeucleosis when I was younger, but I'm not now. Still, though, I bruise easily. I think some people just do. If you're really worried, ask your doctor. Taking some iron might help but I would get your doctor to check for anemia first, since iron can upset your stomach I wouldn't take it if I don't need to. A multivitamin can also help. Good luck.
By chance do you take any anti-inflammatory meds? If so that's the cause.
If you put ice on immediately after bumping into something it will minimize the bruise if not prevent it altogether. Also take vitamin C to help heal the bruises.
Good luck
lack of iron can do that to you or it is the way your body is desinged this or that i my self can take alot of punishment before i bruise
