Of course, one should not panic at the sight of a bruise, but hematomas regularly appearing on the skin may indicate internal organ malfunctioning, blood diseases, and a lack of nutrients.

Bruises are most often caused by

Lack of vitamins — C, P, and K — these are responsible for the vascular tone.

Medications: those used to thin the blood, normalize iron levels, and antidepressants.

Hormonal disruption in the body.

Menopause: a decrease in the level of estrogen in women provokes fragility of blood vessels, which become less elastic.

Older age: the problem of brittle blood vessels often occurs among the elderly. They often have subcutaneous hematomas as blood vessels become fragile with age.

Reasons to worry

To determine the nature of the bruises on the body, it is necessary to consult a therapist, hematologist, or phlebologist and undergo a comprehensive examination. The doctor will prescribe blood tests for an accurate, general diagnosis to examine coagulability and biochemical factors as well as an ultrasound of the vessels. Constant bruising can indicate serious problems, such as:

Varicose veins: in this case, bruises are localized on the legs.

Anemia: hemoglobin levels decrease, tissues receive insufficient oxygen, and capillaries become more vulnerable.

Liver problems: function abnormalities lead to blood thinning and bruising.

Hemorrhagic vasculitis: the immune system perceives blood vessels as foreign bodies and fights against them.

Hemophilia: a blood clotting disorder.

Lupus erythematosus and other diseases caused by immune system functioning disorders.

Oncological diseases: groundless bruises on the body may indicate malignant neoplasms (i.e. this is how blood cancer manifests itself).

Diseases of the cardiovascular system and the brain.

Diet for blood vessels

Improper nutrition and a lack of vitamins are the most harmless reasons for the appearance of seemingly random bruises on the body.

In this case, your diet should include fish and seafood, algae, herbs, eggs, apricots, citrus fruits, cabbage, blackberries, and cranberries.

Having passed the analysis for the vitamin complex, you can take vitamins and minerals in liquids. Try to intake as many vitamins C, P, and K as possible.
