Strange bruises - bruises that you can't explain and you don't know why they happened

This type of bruise is usually not dangerous and is rarely caused by a serious pathology.

However, in these circumstances, it is necessary to consult a doctor and determine the cause of the bruise:

  • The bruise increases in size over time;
  • You cannot stop the bleeding easily;
  • It is accompanied by severe pain;
  • Your nosebleeds are severe or last for an unusually long time;
  • You have severe night sweats that soak your clothes;
  • You lose an unusually large amount of blood during your period or you notice that there are unusually large clots in your menstrual blood.

The most common causes are:

  • Intense physical activity, heavy lifting, exercise;
  • Side effects of certain medications;
  • Nutrient deficiencies in the body;
  • Diabetes;
  • Von Willebrand's disease;
  • Thrombophilia.
