A member asked:

In the past 2 months i've noticed that i bruise a lot easier, not other visible changes in health or behaviour. any thoughts on the cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could be low : Platelets or impaired coagulation. See a doctor, because you need blood tests to investigate either possibility.
