i bruise easily. I have had all blood tests done, and everything came back normal But during my period i bruise alot more than usual.and i do not remember bumping myself. I have mentioned it too my GYN and she has told me it is nothing to worry about. But it is becoming very unsightly to say the least, I like to do yoga and go to gym. i usually wear tank tops and shorts to do this and i am starting to feel a bit insecure, I am sure some people a wondering where i get all the bruises from,. But i tell them how it is I JUST DO NOT KNOW, and the bruises are located everywhere except my face and kneck. Yes even on my back side and vagina
any other ladies have this problem and any suggestions.....
thank you

Some people really do just bruise easily. If you're really worried about it, I'd see a general practitioner to rule out anything weird.

Treat the Bruises
Saw your post while looking for another subject. My wife bruise easily too (even when the wind blows!). anyhow I know I am not suppose to recommend specific products but I'll risk it here, do a search for BruiseMD. My wife has been using it for 3 months and loves it. Hope this helps.

Have you had blood tests done to confirm that you don't have iron deficient anemia? If you have this, when you are on your period, because you are losing blood, it causes you to bruise more easily and makes you feel fatigued. It is a simple blood test that counts the level of hemoglobin in the blood. It is called hematocrit. Generally for a woman, a normal hematocrit ranges from 38-46%. For example, if your hematocrit is 25%, that means that there are 25 milliliters of red blood cells in 100 milliliters of blood. If you are iron deficient, your hemoglobin will be less than normal. A simple fix for this is to take Ferrous Sulfate, the simple iron pill, found in most grocery stores. I take iron pills because that time of the month is so heavy, it causes my hematocrit to drop. This can happen in some women.
