A member asked:

Every few weeks i get bruises in same spots and on the same arm, they go away then come back a like 2 weeks later. i am a little anemic, is that why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Could it be that you are hurting the same part of the body repeatedly and the bruises are from such trauma. Your anemia is likely to be due to iron deficiency and you should take oral iron supplement and multivitamins. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
