Coagulation disorders
Some medical conditions affect the body’s ability to clot blood properly, which can cause frequent bruising. These conditions include:
- Thrombocytopenia : Decrease in the number of platelets, cells account for coagulation.
- Hemophilia : Genetic disorder that prevents normal blood clotting.
Use of medications
Certain medications can hinder bl00d clotting or affect the integrity of blood vessels, increasing the tendency to bruise. Some of these medications include:
- Anticoagulants: Such as warfarin or heparin, which reduce the blood’s ability to clot.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Such as ibuprofen or aspirin, which can affect platelet function.
