Bruises Causes

Bruises can occur in people who exercise rigorously as a result from microscopic tears in blood vessels under the skin. Unexplained bruises (that occur regularly or for no apparent reason) may indicate a bleeding disorder, especially if the bruises are accompanied by frequent nosebleeds or bleeding gums.

Often, what are thought to be ‘unexplained’ bruises may be as a result of bumping into a bedpost or other object and failing to remember the injury. Also, due to the common process of aging our skin becomes thinner and the tissues that support the underlying blood vessels become more fragile – which explains why elderly individuals tend to bruise easily. A bruise is commonly tender and sometimes even painful for the first few days, but the pain usually goes away as the color fades.

Most bruises are not a cause for concern and will go away on their own. Home treatment may speed healing and relieve the swelling and soreness. Severe bruises, swelling and pain that begin within 30 minutes of an injury may indicate a sprain or fracture. The good news is that because the skin is not broken in a bruise (as with an abrasions or cuts) there is no risk of infection.

Tips for Bruises

Tips to help bruises heal

1. Apply something cold to the area when you first get a bruise – this helps reduce its size by slowing down the blood that’s flowing to the area, which decreases the amount of blood that ends up leaking into the tissues (Ice in a bag or frozen peas do the trick!).
2. Elevate the bruised area above the level of your heart (if the bruise is on your shin, lie down on a couch or bed and prop up your leg) – through circulation against gravity, this slows the flow of red blood cells to the bruise.
3. Avoid aspirin. Aspirin slows the blood from clotting and may, in fact, prolong the bleeding under the skin.
4. After 48 hours, heat a warm washcloth and apply it to the bruise for 10 minutes or so 2 or 3 times a day to increase blood flow to the bruised area allowing the skin to reabsorb the blood more quickly.

Tips for preventing bruises

1. Wear protective gear if you’re playing sports, riding your bike, in-line skating, or doing anything where you might bump, bang, crash, or smash into something. Shin guards, and helmets might save you from a couple of weeks of aches and pains or worse!
2. Place furniture away from doorways and common walking paths within your home that you might bump into.
3. Keep phone and electrical cords away from open areas where you may trip and fall. Children’s toys are also major culprits in causing spills and falls, so keep floors free of clutter.
4. Be sure floors are kept dry and that rugs are slip resistant. Always place a slip resistant mat outside of your shower or tub.
5. Plug in a small night-light or use a flashlight if you need to walk to the bathroom during the night.
