This Is Not the Way to Prevent Bruising!

Hello Again:

When we are trying to determine why we are bruising easily, we may be concerned that we could be dealing with a serious disorder.  The truth of the matter is that there are several conditions which do have easy bruising as a primary or secondary symptom, but in most cases, those conditions are relatively rare.

If you are concerned that your easy bruising is due to a medical disorder of some sort, the first thing that you do is to stay calm and rationally examine your situation.  Make sure that you do not fly off the handle, but rather that you carefully assess what your level of risk may be.  It is vitally important that we take enough time to consider how we can educate ourselves so that we can make sure that we are able to thoroughly understand what conditions might be a factor of our easy bruising.

In the first place, we will find that several of the diseases that have symptoms associated with bruising easily are genetically based or inherited.  One of the diseases that is associated with easy bruising is Von Willebrand’s disease, and it can be either contracted or inherited.  This is a disease where the body has difficulties in creating its own auto-antibodies, and it often occurs as a result of  having contracted lupus.

Another variety of disease that can cause easy bruising is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which is a connective tissue disorder.  This is actually a group of associated diseases that affect the ligaments, joints, organs and blood vessels, and this group of diseases is comprised mostly of inherited disorders.

Perhaps the most famous inheritable disease associated with easy bruising is hemophilia, where the body lacks the ability to clot its own blood.  The bruising that occurs can be dark and extremely dramatic, even if the original trauma was quite small, and at the end of the day, this disease is generally known from birth.  At one point, hemophilia was very common among the royal families of Europe.

Of course, there are also diseases that can be contracted that can lead to easy bruising as well.  Diabetes is a disease that can develop independently, but there is also a very strong genetic link in most cases because of immediate family members have also contracted the disease.  Diabetes is defined as an issue of disordered metabolism, where abnormally high blood sugar levels are present.  Diabetes can slow the healing ability of people who are bruising, and the bruises can show up large and dark and end up lingering much longer than they otherwise would.

Another disease that can cause easy bruising is scurvy, which is essentially a vitamin C deficiency.  Vitamin C is one of the vitamins that our body needs to heal itself and produce collagen, and it is a vitamin that the body cannot make on its own.  When we lack adequate vitamin C in your system, we will find that your body cannot heal itself effectively, and the bruises that we get will end up being significantly darker and more severe than they would otherwise be.

If after taking the time necessary to educate ourselves on the diseases that can cause easy bruising, and we still think that we are at risk, consulting with our doctor is essential.  Generally speaking, in most cases, our easy bruising is not going to have been caused by some particular disease.

As we all should know by now, following the daily Bruises Be Banned program is the only proven way available to help overcome easy bruising and help reduce bruising easily or prevent bruising altogether.  At a cost of less than a single dollar per day, it makes no sense not to participate in the program.

Remember that the only thing we have to lose by not following the Bruises Be Banned daily program is our social life due to our ugly bruises.
