A member asked:

Why do i wake up with random bruises on my arms and legs, and why did i unintentionally lose weight when i eat a lot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Easy bruising: Women tend to bruise more easily and it's not uncommon for young women like yourself to wake up with some bruises. There are many potential causes but usually it goes unexplained. Your doctor can run a blood test to rule out the much more rare but potentially serious causes.
