Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Bruising on stomach without a history of trauma is suggestive of bleeding from skin vessels.

This type of spontaneous bleeding occur in bleeding disorders which is seen in patients with decreased platelet count, liver disorders, and blood clotting factor deficiencies.

Blood capillary fragility also leads to bruising in skin.

As you are getting repeated bruises, you need blood investigations to look for any defect in blood clotting mechanism.

Hemoglobin level has to be checked to look for anemia which may be the reason for your tiredness and feeling unwell.

Drugs like ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, and steroid medications also cause skin bruises.

Therefore I advise you to consult the physician for the physical examination and for investigations to look for the causes of bruising and tiredness.

Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.

Regards.
