What Causes Easy Bleeding From Wounds?
Hi, I have recently starting bleeding very easily from cuts. As if my skin is thinner. Takes longer to stop bleeding (I m usually a tough cookie). In early my morning my urine is dark, but light later in day. Otherwise healthy 52 year old. Scheduled to see Doc next week for hopefully blood work. Any ideas? I don t eat much red meat lately (4 months or so).

Hello!
Most commonly you might be suffering from VitC deficiency. Your Vitamin c levels will be too low and it is a major component for good healing process in the body. Consume a lot of citrus fruits and if possible tablet limcee which is an OTC drug for two weeks. Meanwhile, kindly visit a doctor also and get the blood tests just to be sure it's nothing serious.
