Hello Again:

We have all become unfortunately aware that easy bruising is often just a natural effect of getting older, but our bruising easily can often be used as a means to diagnose conditions that are more severe or as a symptom of some problematic disorder.  We have lots of friends and family who are concerned about us, so we might find that this condition is further aggravated by their well-meaning, but not entirely accurate, guesses as to what the bruising causes might be. One condition that often gets brought in conjunction with easy bruising is hemophilia.

The first thing that we need to recognize is that hemophilia is a genetic disorder that is present at birth, and it is not something that develops spontaneously.  The term hemophilia actually refers to a set of disorders that all have to do with problems related to blood clotting or blood coagulation.  For the most common form of hemophilia, this problem occurs in between 1 out of 5,000 to 10,000 births, while the second most common form will occur in 1 in about 20,000 to 34,000 births. As you can see, the chance of having this disorder as an adult without it being diagnosed when we were a child is exceptionally low.

When looking at hemophilia, remember that there are different levels that are associated with this disorder.  Mild hemophilia is a condition where most sufferers only worry if they are going to be undergoing surgery or dental work.  On the other hand, moderate hemophilia refers to a level where bleeding and easy bruising occur. With moderate hemophilia, mild abrasions like scratching an insect bite or even brushing your teeth can present a problem. With severe hemophilia, even mild physical trauma can create extremely serious conditions that require immediate medical treatment.

The reason why hemophilia is often linked to easy bruising is because even slight contusions can lead to a significant amount of blood flow.  Because this blood does not clot easily, this means that the bruises that occur seem to show up out of no where and are often a great deal larger and more dramatic than they seem like they ought to be.

With this being said, it is nearly impossible to manifest the symptoms of hemophilia as an adult; and in virtually every case, people are diagnosed with this condition well before they are fully grown.  What is much more likely is that we are suffering from easy bruising that is being caused by other issues.  Aging and menopause are both common factors when it comes to being more susceptible to easy bruising.  When we are considering how to overcome our easy bruising, we need to look no further than the daily Bruises Be Banned program. This uniquely formulated, all natural, daily treatment program can help you reduce bruising or prevent bruising altogether.

Remember the only thing we have to lose by not taking Bruises Be Banned is our social life because of our ugly bruises.
