Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am female, 61 yrs. I had been taking low dose aspirin every day, but stopped a couple of months ago. a couple of weeks ago, I found what appeared to be a bruise on my right leg. I don t remember hitting it on anything. The bruise is as fresh today as when I found it two weeks ago. Could it be a blood clot? Money hungry jerks.
Hi mam. kindly observe for few days. If its reducing nothing to worry. But if its persistent r new bruise if u develop kindly u need attention from the doctor. You need to check certain parameters in the blood like Platelet count, PT and APTT. By this they can adjust your dose of aspirin. Thank U
