Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi my name is Brigitte,I am 51 years old,going through the early stages of Menopause.In November of last year,I went on a long haul flight to California from Manchester, which resulted in bruising in the back of my legs and a massive bruise in my groin area.I also bled terribly for a month after.I had a blood test to check if I had had a Embolism,and that came clear,but it was two months after I returned home before the Dr decided to check.my Question is...could it have been an Embolism? Which should have been checked sooner? And what could have caused the large bruising in my groin area? My Dr seems unconcerned about this.
Hi, I can understand your concern and anxiety. such multiple bruises are generally uncommon and reflect some coagulation problems. Why dont you consult a hematologist and get yourself a full coagulation profile completed. Some coagulation problems can manifest at later ages and they need special testing like von willibrand disease. do let me know if you any more questions for me
