What causes bruises on legs?

The human legs are the part of the body where blood accumulation is most likely to occur. In many cases, the reason for blood accumulation in the legs is very obvious. The most common reason is some external factors. However, some people will have blood accumulation and congestion in their legs for no reason without any external stimulation. What is the reason for this?

What causes bruises on legs?

If there are bruises on the legs, the first thing to consider is whether there is a minor trauma or a bump. Secondly, consider whether there is a problem with the platelet count. You need to go to the hematology department of the hospital to check the blood items to check whether there is low platelet count. Low platelet count can cause some main manifestations of bruises on the legs, or whether there is a problem with coagulation function. If there is a problem with venous flow obstruction in the legs, you need to go to the relevant department for further regular examination and diagnosis. It can be solved and treated accordingly according to the different causes of the disease.

Generally, when there is blood bruise on the legs, different effective methods are adopted to solve and deal with it according to age and the cause of the blood bruise. If it is mild, you can ignore it, and it will be absorbed naturally over time. Especially for women, some capillaries are very abundant, and a touch at certain places may cause blood stasis.

Other reasons

Kidney function disease

Persistent kidney disease can also cause bruising on the skin. Purpura can occur before, after, or at the same time as kidney disease. Kidney dysfunction often occurs in children, and its main manifestations are hematuria, proteinuria, and cylindria. In severe cases, it is also accompanied by edema, anuria, hypertension and other symptoms of renal failure.

Too much toxin in the blood

Waste products from the body's metabolism, excess nutrients, and environmental toxins will adhere to the blood vessels and block the flow of blood. Gradually, these blocked blood vessels will harden, thicken, and become sensitive. Blood vessels that have lost their elasticity are as sensitive as brittle rubber bands, easily damaged, and difficult to heal when damaged.

For example, a large number of free radicals are generated during the metabolism of excess nutrients, as well as tar in cigarettes, which can directly damage the blood vessel epidermis and promote blood coagulation.
