A member asked:
Is there any significance behind heavy bruising during a woman's period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Although you seem to notice the bruising more so during your menstrual cycle, it is likely not related as your blood clotting mechanisms related to levels of prothrombin or platelets are unaffected regardless of where you are in your cycle. Try a product called dermend which is over the counter, and useful to expedite the resolution of bruising.
