The doctor told about the bruising diseases

According to her, the cause of the hematoma may be taking certain medications, chronic diseases or age-related changes, connective tissue diseases or vitamin deficiency.

"If we talk about medications, then we are talking about drug-induced thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia is a decrease in the number of platelets that are involved in the blood clotting system and in the regeneration of the inner lining of blood vessels (endothelium), ensuring their strength," the doctor said.

In addition, according to her, pregnancy can cause thrombocytopenia. This disease is the second most common in pregnant women after anemia. Fortunately, it does not require medical intervention and resolves on its own.

Bruises can also occur as a result of chronic diseases such as liver dysfunction, heart or kidney failure, rheumatological diseases or viral infections.

In addition, according to the expert, bruises, or senile purpura, often appear due to age-related changes, as layers of fat and muscle tissue are lost, and the strength of skin and vascular collagen decreases.

The doctor clarified that, in addition to all of the above, a bruise can be caused by connective tissue diseases such as Ehlers-Danlos or Marfan syndrome.

"This category also includes vitamin deficiencies, namely vitamins B12 and folic acid, which are involved in DNA synthesis, in other words, contributing to the timely renewal and maintenance of normal cell function throughout the body," Vastistova said.

She also added that alcohol, which causes vitamin deficiency when consumed, can worsen the situation. The doctor mentioned blood problems, which can also become a bruising problem. Given that they are rare, such diseases still occur and require attention. She said that these include hemophilia, thrombohemorrhagic syndrome, myeloproliferative diseases and hematosarcoma.

"It is possible to suspect a hereditary cause if there is a family history of the disease," said Vastistova.
