Bruise Easily

[Summer_3]

I don’t know if it’s just me or if anyone else is similar.

I was on the prostap injection for 3 months but it has been 6 months since the last one. Still have not had a period.

The end of November I underwent deep excision surgery. The recovery has been very up and down but starting to get my life back!

I have been noticing that my legs keep bruising for no reason. But also if I have knelt on my knees even for a short period of time, a couple of hours later I notice a bruise appear covering my full knee. The bruises aren’t painful.

So just wondering if it could be down to the prostap or if anyone has had this also happen.

I believe prostap causes blood thinning. I had a 4 week dose and bruised really easily (I got a ridiculously bruised hand from simply posting some letters!) x

Hmm, so it could be to do with that. It doesn’t seem to be getting out my system x

Have you had a blood test recently? Only I bruise easily when my HB and iron stores are low. Just a thought x

Not for a while, thank you for your help. I will book in with my gp x
