Is Bruises On Body Related To Saphenous Vein Disease?

I was recently diagnosed with Saphenous Vein Disease and now have tiny red/brown spots on my ankles and feet that come and go. I woke up Tuesday morning with five bruises on my left arm and two on my right. There were no bruises there the night before. Yesterday afternoon I noticed two bruises on my stomach. I have also been developing knots. One over my rib cage upper left and the others are in my arms, legs, and one on my rib cage lower back right. Is this all connected to the Vein Disease?

Hello,

The spots on the legs and ankles are related to saphenous vein disease. The bruises on the other parts of the body are unrelated to it. I would recommend you to go for coagulation profile to find out the cause of bruises.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
