Why am i suddenly bruising so easily?!

Sorry...I know no one likes to hear this but only your physician can be certain of the cause or number of causes that directly relate to your condition. Anemia is definitely one. Having anemia can affect your body's ability to form blood clots therefore causing bruising after such things as shaving your legs and injuries from falling down a lot, as you mentioned. However, anemia can produce many symptoms. I agree with the other answers. I got diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia during my first pregnancy and have had it since.

If you do, in fact, have iron-deficiency anemia, you can take an iron supplement that you can find over-the-counter but make sure that it is gentle on your stomach because it can cause you to become constipated. But definitely see your doctor and have bloodwork done first. I also recommend just taking a daily multivitamin that contains Iron, Calcium and Vitamins C and D for safe measure and increasing your intake of foods such as dried beans and dark green leafy vegetables because these foods are good sources of iron for a vegetarian. Eating foods containing vitamin C along with foods containing iron will help your body to absorb the iron better too.

These suggetions may or may not help but they certainly won't hurt you to try. Hope this helps. Best Wishes!

Nursing knowledge and personal experience

This could be effected by vitamin and mineral deficiency. It would be wise to have lots of proteins and drink lots of milk (calcium). I am no doctor, but I am studying this topic and I think that this is the answer.

Could be a liver issue, especially if you drink alot.

Your pregnant

Have a CBC done. Could be anything minor to very major
