Why Do I Bruise So Easily?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
2. Medication
Modern medicine can help us in countless ways but, unfortunately, there are also some ways that it can hinder us. Drugs come with various side effects and, depending on which drugs you are using, one of these side effects is bruising easier than you otherwise would. Aspirin is a commonly used drug that has the effect of thinning the blood. This means that we bleed, and bruise, more easily.
In addition to drugs that thin the blood, there are others that will cause inflammation, change how blood vessels behave, and/or cause blood vessels to become weaker. You should let your doctor know if you have any problems with bleeding when they are prescribing medication for you.
