Unexplained Bleeding



Share Emailz

Potential treatments for unexplained bruising are:
- apply ice to the bruised area for about 20 to 30 minutes. This will help to constrict, or shrink the blood vessels that may be damaged and bleeding.
- heated compression (heating pad or warm wash cloth), 2 or 3 times a day, to help reabsorb the blood.
- Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain, up to 4000 mg per day which is maximum dose.

If you experience unexplained bruising, contact your physician and do not take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs such as ibuprofen and aspirin unless the doctor suggests or states it is okay to take these medications.

Be sure to tell you doctor about any medications, vitamins, or herbal remedies you are taking as well as other disease conditions. Potential treatments for unexplained bruising are:
