  • Random bruising after workouts occurs due to broken blood vessels under the skin, intense exercise, nutrient deficiencies, or underlying health conditions. It's usually harmless but persistent bruising may require medical attention.

The article from MSN discusses the phenomenon of random bruising after workouts, attributing it to five potential causes. Firstly, intense exercise can cause small blood vessels to burst, leading to bruises, especially in activities involving heavy lifting or contact sports. Secondly, nutritional deficiencies, particularly in vitamins C and K, can weaken blood vessels, making bruising more likely. Medications like blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs can also increase bruising by affecting blood clotting. Age plays a role as well; older individuals have more fragile blood vessels due to the natural thinning of the skin and loss of subcutaneous fat. Lastly, underlying health conditions such as blood disorders or liver disease might manifest through unexplained bruising. The article suggests that while occasional bruising might be normal, frequent or severe bruising should prompt a consultation with a healthcare provider to rule out serious conditions.
