Why are there more and more bleeding spots on my body?

If there are more and more bleeding spots on the body, you should pay attention to it. There are many reasons for the bleeding spots. The most common one is thrombocytopenia and poor coagulation mechanism. Thrombocytopenia may lead to insufficient platelet production, which will cause mucosal bleeding. The most common one is the appearance of bleeding spots on the skin. Severe cases may cause internal bleeding.

Causes of Secondary Thrombocytopenia

1. Infection

To take preventive measures, we must know the causes of secondary thrombocytopenia, so as to completely prevent the occurrence of secondary thrombocytopenia. Viral infection can cause mild to moderate thrombocytopenia because the virus inhibits megakaryocytes from producing platelets and shortens the lifespan of platelets.

2. Aplastic Disorders

Many patients with secondary thrombocytopenia are caused by other diseases. Due to low bone marrow proliferation, thrombocytopenia may appear first, and then low proliferation of erythroid and granulocyte cell lines may occur.

3. Myelodysplasia

To cure secondary thrombocytopenia, it is also necessary to identify the specific cause of secondary thrombocytopenia so as to fundamentally solve the problem. The earliest symptom is megakaryocyte reduction leading to thrombocytopenia, followed by dysplastic hematopoiesis of the erythroid and granulocyte-monocyte system.

4. Bone marrow space-occupying lesions

People should know the key causes of secondary thrombocytopenia in order to take better preventive measures. Some malignant tumors invade the bone marrow, reduce the production of megakaryocytes and inhibit their maturation, resulting in thrombocytopenia, such as leukemia, malignant lymphoma, and cancer metastasis.

Clinical manifestations

Other patients with immune thrombocytopenia may present with systemic skin purpura, epistaxis or menorrhagia in women, fatigue, pale complexion, and dark urine. Occasionally, signs of kidney damage such as hypertension, hematuria, and azotemia may be seen. Neurological symptoms are rare.

complication

1. Mucosal bleeding: epistaxis, gastrointestinal tract, urogenital tract and vaginal bleeding; 2. Heavy bleeding after surgery; 3. Heavy gastrointestinal bleeding and bleeding in the central nervous system can be life-threatening.
