Bruising is the common name for haemorrhages, usually the result of daily injuries and contusions. Sometimes, however, they appear too often and it is difficult for us to determine why they were created at all. Spontaneous bruises can be a symptom of various diseases.
How are bruises formed?
Bruising occurs when small blood vessels are damaged, causing blood to enter the tissues. Usually they are the result of an injury, impact or heavy pressure. Usually they disappear after about 7-10 days.
Women are more prone to bruising during menstruation as the blood vessels are weakened and more likely to break during menstruation.
Bruises also appear more often in people who have congenital excessive fragility of the vessels. They may also be related to medications you are taking, e.g. from the group of corticosteroids or blood thinners. Sometimes, however, bruises can be one of the symptoms of the disease. It is worth knowing what situations should worry us.
At Medonet Market you will find Arnica Gel for dilated capillaries, bruises, bruises, swelling FLOSLEK, which supports regeneration and improves the appearance of the skin – also with bruises.
Reduced blood clotting and susceptibility to bruising
If we have the impression that the bruises are forming on our body for no apparent reason (not the result of an injury), it may be a sign of a blood clotting disorder. This defect may be due to a deficiency of clotting factors or a malfunction of the blood vessel walls or platelets.
The most common diseases associated with decreased blood clotting include hemophilia and Willebrand’s disease. They are genetic diseases.
Do you have a problem with blood clotting? Do a diagnostic test package and reach for a supplement with vitamin K2.
Vitamin deficiency and susceptibility to bruising
People with vitamin deficiencies, especially vitamin C, are also exposed to easy bruising. It is responsible for strengthening the walls of blood vessels and making them resistant to cracking.
Bruising may also appear as a symptom of vitamin K deficiency, which – like vitamin C – is responsible for the condition of blood vessels. Their tightness is also influenced by vitamin PP. It is worth ensuring that the body is supplied with the right amounts of these substances.

Liver disease and susceptibility to bruising
The appearance of bruises can also be a symptom of liver problems. Spontaneously appearing bruises on the lower limbs, accompanied by edema, may be a symptom of primary liver cirrhosis. Other symptoms of this disease also include jaundice, bleeding from the gums and nose, and in the advanced stage, ascites.
Kidney diseases and susceptibility to bruising
Bruising may also be a signal of kidney problems. If, in addition to bruising, you complain of fatigue and weakness, as well as lack of appetite, headaches, hypertension, insomnia, itchy skin and rash, be sure to consult a doctor. These symptoms may or may not be a sign of kidney failure.
Anemia and susceptibility to bruising
Anemia is associated with a deficiency of iron or vitamin B12. These two substances are blood-forming factors. Their deficiency leads to a decrease in the level of hemoglobin, red blood cells and platelets, and hence to coagulation disorders. The consequence is bruises appearing on the body for no apparent reason.
The symptoms of anemia include: weakness, pale and dry skin, lack of appetite and energy.
Leukemia and susceptibility to bruising
Large amounts of bruising and ecchymosis may also be one of the symptoms of leukemia developing in the body. This is not the only sign. The symptoms of this disease also include frequent infections, fatigue, bone pain, itchy skin and a pale complexion. It is a very serious ailment, therefore any disturbing symptoms should not be underestimated.
When should bruises worry?
Usually bruising is not a cause for concern. However, a medical consultation is recommended when body bruises appear spontaneously, not as a result of an injury, and are very painful. Their size and extent may also be disturbing, which is completely inadequate to the trauma. It is also worth visiting a doctor when bruises develop very easily or appear in places remote from the injury.
In order to deal with bruises, it is worth applying a cold compress to the place of the injury as soon as possible. Ready-made reusable compresses can be found on the Medonet Market. Choose the size that is right for you.
You can also apply Dermesa Juice directly to the skin to reduce bruising and swelling.
