Latley I have been bruising easily and bleeding a lot. i just BARELY bumped into a round bedpost and i now have a bruise, a bump, and an abraision. last night, i took of a peice of hanging skin on my foot that was about a sixth of an inch. it bles so much i had to soak my foot for fifteen minutes. after that, it continued to bleed and i had to dress it rather than use a band-aid. today a similar thing happened with my cuticle. i barely moved it up, which on most people wouldnt do a thing, but for me it bled a ton! Lastly a half an hour ago, i barely hit my leg and i already have a bruise and a bump! help!
It could be that you have acquired qualitative or quantitative platelet disorder, disturbance of the vascular or supporting structure, or it may be due to one of several acquired systemic disorders.
Or you might have...
Anemia - idiopathic aplastic
Symptoms:
Fatigue
Pallor
Shortness of breath on exertion
Rapid heart rate
Easy bruising
Nose bleeds
Bleeding gums
Prolonged bleeding
Frequent or severe infections
Lymph nodes may be enlarged (rare)
Hemophilia
The most common symptom of hemophilia is excessive, uncontrollable bleeding because of the missing or low-level clotting factor in the blood. Bleeding may occur even when there is no injury. It most often occurs in the joints and in the head.
Symptoms:
bruising
Bruises can occur from small accidents, which can result in a large hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin causing swelling).
bleeds easily
A tendency to bleed from the nose, mouth, and gums with minor trauma, teeth brushing, and/or dental work is often an indication of hemophilia.
bleeding into a joint
Hemarthrosis (bleeding into a joint) can cause pain, immobility, and eventually deformity if not medically managed properly. This is the most common site of complications due to hemophilia bleeding. These joint bleeds can lead to chronic, painful, arthritis, deformity, and crippling with repeated occurrences.
bleeding into the muscles
Bleeding into the muscles can cause swelling, pain, and redness. Swelling from excessive blood in these areas can cause increased pressure on tissues and nerves in the area, resulting in permanent damage and/or deformity.
bleeding from injury or bleeding in the brain
Bleeding from injury, or spontaneously in the brain, is the most common cause of death in children with hemophilia and the most serious bleeding complication.
other sources of bleeding
Blood found in the urine or stool may also be a symptom of hemophilia.
The symptoms of hemophilia may resemble other blood disorders or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
von Willebrand Disease (VWD) -
Von Willebrand disease is the most common bleeding disorder, affecting about 1% of all people. People with VWD take longer to stop bleeding than is normal.
Symptoms:
frequent nosebleeds
easy bruising
in women, long/heavy menstrual periods (over 6 days).
If I were you, I would talk to your mom and go get it checked out at the doctor. It may be more serious than you think.
Good luck!
