YOU WROTE: "Current medical status: I have vaginal herpes and I just found out."

Most doctor and researcher agree that vaginal herpes does not increase the incidence of bruises. Increased incidence of bruises on the body can be caused by some type of haematological disorder, usually involving the coagulation of the blood. Vaginal herpes is caused by a virus and does not affect coagulation.
