If You Get These Bruises on Your Body, It Might Mean Something Serious

 Have you noticed a swelling like this in your wrist or hand?
This is called a ganglion cyst 
 It’s a benign swelling filled with sticky fluid that often appears near joints or tendons.
 It’s not dangerous, but it can cause pain or impede movement if it grows large.
 Don’t try to drain it yourself!
 Your doctor may simply monitor you or drain it with a needle. Sometimes, minor surgery is required if it causes severe pain or recurs frequently.
 Tip: If it bothers you or increases in size, it’s best to see a specialist.

 What is a synovial cyst?
A synovial cyst is a sac filled with a clear, jelly-like fluid similar to the fluid found inside joints. It often appears near joints or tendons, and feels soft or rubbery, sometimes slightly firm.
 Possible Causes
There is no specific cause for a synovial cyst, but it is believed that there are factors that contribute to its appearance, such as:
Repetitive movements of the hand or joint.
Previous injuries to the joint or tendon.
Weakness in the joint wall that allows synovial fluid to escape.

Unexplained bruises—especially on arms, legs, or torso—can be more than just “aging.” While occasional bruising is normal, sudden or frequent bruises, especially with other symptoms, may signal serious health issues. Major causes include blood disorders like low platelets or leukemia (large bruises, petechiae, nosebleeds, fatigue), medication side effects (blood thinners, steroids causing easy bruising), vitamin deficiencies (C or K, slow-healing bruises, bleeding gums), autoimmune attacks (lupus, vasculitis causing bruises along vessels, joint pain, rashes), and liver disease (abdominal bruises, jaundice, swelling).
