What is the reason behind bruises?


Question:
I bruise really easily.. even from kneeling on the floor for a bit. A slight knock on the arm or leg that doesn't hurt causes bruises that will last for days. Why is that so?

Answers:
There could be a several reasons for the bruises.
*You may be having very fragile skin.
*You may under some blood thinning drugs(I hope, you are not)
*You may have to think of increasing the intake of Vit-C rich foods.Citrus fruits and juices might help. Vitamin -C is vital for the healthy blood vessels.
*Please seek a medical advise and do have your blood checked,if you are repeatedly having this issue. Causes like low or higher platelet counts and deficiency in one or more clotting factors all can contribute to this problem.
*Please do avoid taking risk activities that are likely to cause any injury and trauma.
Hope, this helps

Your blood vessels and veins are very thin.as you grow older the elasticity of these weakens. Before my grandmother passed, if she would hit her hand on the door knob it would automatically turn to a bruise, just blood chillin under the skin.
they r like alarms for the body telling us be carefull im hurt.the blood that makes the bruised color helps to heal
