Easy bruising can begin in a very natural way, especially when you are getting older. It is a process that almost everybody is going through with or without other underlying reasons. Usually bruises form in a natural way and then disappear the same way without requiring any special medication. Blood clotting or other related diseases can have symptoms including easy bruising; and if the bruising is accompanied by headaches or frequent pain, you may require medical attention. Please do not take these symptoms for granted, because it could lead you to dealing with a serious problem in the future.
A bruise is always caused by internal bleeding into the interstitial tissues, usually initiated by blunt force trauma , which causes damage through physical compression of blood vessels and tissues and deceleration forces. Trauma sufficient to cause bruising can occur from a wide variety of situations including accidents, falls, and surgeries, and these occurrences need not be major to cause bruising. Several types of alternative treatments are often recommended to speed healing and to reduce the pain associated with bruises. A simple first aid application of cold then hot compresses can help to eliminate the marks that appear on your skin. Cold compress can also be beneficial in helping to prevent swelling.
As people age, they may be prone more to easy bruising because of the thinning of their skins, making it more fragile. Minor bruises may be easily recognized in people with light skin by the characteristic blue or purple appearance, idiomatically described as "black and blue" in the days following an injury. Bruises change colors over time in a predictable pattern, so that it is possible to estimate when an injury occurred by the color of the bruise.
It can be hard to stop bruising easily, but you can help accelerate the healing process. When you get a bruise, you can use stuff that you can find right in your freezer to help the bruise disappear faster. Applying cold when you first get a bruise helps reduce the swelling size by slowing down the blood that's flowing to the affected area; it decreases the amount of blood that ends up leaking into the tissues. Most importantly it keeps the inflammation and swelling down. All you have to do is compress cold to the bruise for thirty to sixty minutes a day or two after the bruise appears. You don't need to buy an expensive cold pack, even if they're great to keep on hand in the freezer. Just get some ice, put it in a plastic bag, and wrap the bag with a cloth or a towel and place it on the bruise (take note it isn't a good idea to apply the ice directly to the skin). Another thing to do is to use a bag of frozen vegetables. It doesn't concern what kind of vegetable you have as long as they're frozen. A bag of frozen vegetables is easy to apply to the bruise because it can form to the shape of the injured area. Also, like a cold pack, it can be used and refrozen again and again.
A bruise is due to a rupture of blood vessels which allows the escape of blood into the interstices spaces between the cells and connective tissue below the outermost layer of skin. This leakage of blood from an injured blood vessel into the tissues forms into the colored marks that are called bruises . To help speed the healing of these bruises naturally, you should elevate the affected bruised area above shoulder height to decrease the flow of blood coming to the injured area.
Vigorous exercise may also cause bruises due to bringing about small tears in blood vessel walls. While normally caused by blunt impact, bruises or contusions can also result from pulled muscles, sprains, or other sporting injuries. To avoid these things happening, you should take the extra precaution of wearing appropriate protective gear before going into such activities.
Minor bruises are easily prevented and treated, but it's probably best to talk to a doctor if: A bruise doesn't disappear after 2 weeks. You bruise often and you haven't been bumping into something. Bruises seems to develop for no known reason. A bruise is getting more painful. Your bruise is swelling. You can't move a joint. The bruise is near your eye.
