6 Health Problems That Can Cause Bruises On Your Body

What should you do if you have bruises on your skin for no reason? Why does this happen and should you be worried? If you have bruises, it’s because the capillaries are very thin. What causes this?

7. Weight training, lifting heavy things

Lifting weights is a secondary reason for bruises. It means that is your blood vessels are already weak and physical activity only gives a final touch. However, too much of physical activity can lead to the damage of even the healthiest capillaries. For example, weight training which you are not yet ready for can be dangerous.

Even kids can get such bruises since overstuffed school bags that are barely liftable are quite common nowadays.

It is believed that such bruises are not very dangerous but it is a demonstration of the fact that you are overdoing it.

6. Taking medication

Taking certain medications which influence the blood can lead to the appearance of bruises which can vary from almost non-existent to pretty serious ones. Most of the time, they are caused by antidepressants, analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, iron-containing, or anti-asthmatic medicine.

The most common medication which makes the blood more liquid and can lead to bruises is aspirin.

If you have noticed the connection between taking medications and inflammation on your skin, you should see your doctor. It could be that you will need to stop taking the medicine to avoid internal bleeding.

5. Blood diseases

Blood and vessel diseases can cause bruises. Varicosis, Willebrand’s, thrombocytopenia or leukemia are often caused by problems with blood circulation.

Don’t postpone a visit to the doctor, especially if you’ve noticed other worrying symptoms: pain and swollen legs, bleeding gums, small capillary spots on the body, or nosebleeds.

4. Lack of nutrients
