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.
What Causes Bruises On The Legs With Frequent Urination?
I have bruises on both my legs. I ve had them for a year now. I ve had blood tests done and in Feb. of this year, I had an ultrasound for clots done in the ER. The blood tests didn t show anything and they did not find a clot in my legs. My legs swell and I have frequent urination. I ve always had frequent urination but it seems to be increasing. I get up a lot at night. Lately, I ve noticed that I drink more water but never really feel satisfied. I sometimes feel light headed and foggy. It comes out of nowhere. What could be going on? The bruising, the thirst, the fogginess...it s all new within the last year. I was once very active and I felt great. I will say that I ve gained a few pounds since last year because I stopped working out. But the weight should not be affecting me like this. Help?

Hi,
Your symptoms suggest the possibility of diabetes with possibly high blood pressure. Please get your blood sugar tested. Also, get a checkup by a physician for blood pressure & it's possible complications. Specific treatment after diagnosing basic cause along with few lifestyle changes would help you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
