I get bruises really easily (and never seem to remember what caused them), and they usually take quite a while to go away. I have one on my lower leg that's been there for over 4 months now (my nurse/practitioner says that's because it's located over a bone...). My husband is worried that there might be some more serious underlying problem...should I be worried with him or not?

Bruising easily can be symptomatic of several things that could be happening in your body. From very simple to not so simple. I would bring this up again at your appointment, not just the one you have but mention that you get several. I don't know how your doctors are, some will not run any tests until pushed and pushed, (its all because of insurance) it may be a simple blood test can tell you that you have a vitamin need. I would not jump to conclusions but I would push for answers, if this has been ongoing for awhile. Try to pay attention to what your body is telling you, are you having any other symptoms. Do you have unusual or different than normal food cravings? Do you sleep differently? Your body holds many clues you just need to listen to them. Take care !

Well, its not related to cancer so dont worry. My mother has the same thing. It is because of not eating enough. She can sometimes go on till 5 o clock with just half a bottle of water. She has some deficiency in her blood. But, then again, you can just bruise easily. Each person is different. Nothing happens to her except the fact that she bruises easily. Ask your doctor carefully.
