Early Warning Signs Of Hepatitis C In Men

Easy Bruising And Bleeding

The liver must filter blood. That is its job! Hepatitis C makes the liver incompetent. This virus damages the liver and forces the creation of nasty scar tissue. Because of this, blood will build up in the spleen. The excess blood in the spleen causes the balance of platelets to be thrown off. It also means a shortage of platelets being produced, meaning the blood can’t clot normally.

The body is lacking the fighters it needs to stop bruising and more bleeding. Men whose blood can’t clot face nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and bruises. These bruises can come from simple run-ins with the kitchen counter, never mind sliding into the home plate roughly or getting tackled during a football game.
