Bruises Be Banned Will Not Prevent Bruising If You Do This!

Hello Again:

When we have noticed that we’re getting large bruises at the slightest bump, we have every right to be concerned, and if we bring the issue up to our friends, there will be a good chance that they are going to be concerned for our well being. When it comes to evaluating the causes of easy bruising, there will be a lot of theories as to why it might be a problem for us, and some of these theories may be right on, while others seem completely out of the blue.  One of the conditions that is often associated with easy bruising is the relatively rare Von Willebrand’s disease, and the question of whether we might have it would be a troublesome thought.   We need to learn what this disorder is and what might it might mean to us?

The first thing that we need to be aware of is that Von Willebrand’s disease is a coagulation disorder, in which our blood has difficulty clotting the way that it should.  As such, even the slightest bumps and scrapes can lead to a lot of blood being shed, and this applies for beneath the skin as well as above it.  Because a lot of blood flows when the tissue is damaged, the bruises that can result are fairly dramatic, and will show up unexpectedly.  Some people are surprised when they see so much bruising over a simple matter like a bump or a scrape.

How does one get Von Willebrand’s disease?  For the vast majority of people, Von Willebrand’s disease is inherited.  It is largely a hereditary condition where people will pass it on to their children from generation to generation.  There are also rare cases where Von Willebrand’s disease can be acquired.  In these cases, the problem is that the body has started creating auto-antibodies, which will actually wipe out the material that causes coagulation to occur quickly and effectively. With that in mind, you’ll discover that there are conditions which can lead to this, the most common among them being lupus.

That being said, is Von Willebrand’s disease something that we should be worrying about?  We have to determine whether we have any of the additional symptoms beyond normal bruising easily.  Typically, nosebleeds and bleeding gums will also be prevalent.  Women may also experience blood loss during childbirth as well as overly heavy menstrual flows.

If we find ourselves dealing with easy bruising, remember that we need to take whatever steps are necessary to learn whatever we can about the causes.  There are a lot of different reasons that we might be bruising more easily than we think we should, but the truth of the matter is that it is likely not anything serious.  Any serious issues should be taken to a doctor, but if we determine that our bruising is just an effect of our getting older, we need to do a serious evaluation of Bruises Be Banned, which is a unique, all natural daily treatment program that has been specially formulated to help reduce bruising or prevent bruising altogether.
