Bruises?

[jull]

Is it just me? Anyone else get them randomly? I have severe endo and it's got to be linked to that, definitely not bumped into things that much. I have them on the front and back of my legs, thighs and arms, they're usually quite yellow which is when a bruise is suppose to be healing.

Hi,

Sorry to hear this. I’ve always bruised easily but generally after a knock. I’ve noticed my immune system has been low though and that’s due to Endo. So things do take longer to heal.

Daft as it is I had my eyebrows tattooed last year and they wouldn’t heal. I’d had them done the previous year and no problem. First thing the clinic said when I rang up was, have u or are u Ill

Hope this helps

Xx

Endometriosis would not cause bruising on your limbs.

The fact you bruise easily and the fact you have endometriosis would not be connected.

I hope that's helpful.

I bruise quite easily and they appear randomly but sometimes we just forget that we may have bumped into something and didn’t notice.

It’s probably not related to endo though xx

Hi

I bruise really easily and they are black and blue regardless of the size. I usually find them and have no idea how I got them, slightest knock or pressure on the skin causes them.

I'm not sure that they are endometriosis related though.

I did think I could be vitamin B12 deficient so took B12 tablets and found that the bruising decreased until I stopped and so I went back to taking them. I now have one every evening.

I do have very pale skin so that also could be the reason x
