What Causes Bruises On Stomach And Back?
I usually bruise easily and I m not sure sure why. I went to the Doctor and they took my blood and said everything was fine. They usually ask me if I have bruises on my stomach or back and at the time I didn t but now I do. What does it mean? I haven t done anything to get these bruises either.

Hello,
Easy bruising is suggestive of disorders of coagulation system or fragile blood vessels.
I suggest you to get certain investigations namely platelet count, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time and thrombin time to assess the coagulation pathways.
You may consult a hematologist for prescription of these investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri
