Is unexplained bruising symptom of sickle cell anemia?

Unexplained bruising can be a symptom associated with sickle cell anemia, primarily due to complications such as vaso-occlusive crises that can lead to bleeding or damage to blood vessels. However, bruising is not exclusive to sickle cell anemia and can result from various other conditions or factors. If unexplained bruising occurs, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
