Easy Bruising and Bleeding
Symptom Description:
Easy bruising and bleeding are subtle signs that can be associated with liver cancer. People might notice that they bruise more easily or that small cuts take longer to stop bleeding. This can be mistakenly attributed to aging or other minor health issues.
What It Might Mean:
In liver cancer, easy bruising and bleeding are due to the liver’s reduced ability to produce clotting factors. The liver is responsible for making proteins that help the blood clot, and when its function is impaired, this process is disrupted.
