A member asked:
I've noticed a pattern where i get big bruises on my thighs only when im on my menstrual cycle. is there a conncection?

Seems to be: If the bruising only occurs during your cycle, then there seems to be a connection. This is worth having your ob/gyn see you when the bruising is present so that they can document what is going on. It might be a problem called purpura and should lead to further evaluation.
