Suspecting some abnormality with her platelets sir
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. If no apparent reason is currently suspected, then the unexplained bruising could be due to abnormally functioning platelets or a low level of platelets; or issues with the proteins that help the platelets.
In such a scenario, I would recommend a visit to her doctor to check on the level of her platelets and a few other tests to check how her platelets are clotting; along with this a check on her liver and other vital organs should also be conducted. But without investigations, it is difficult to comment on the most likely cause sir.
Please do schedule an appointment with her doctor for further management, and also feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
