Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am 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.
Bleeding without any injury or apparent trauma can occur due to a few underlying conditions which I shall list out for your reference:
+Bleeding or coagulation disorders: I recommend a bleeding and coagulation profile
+Liver abnormalities: Requires a liver function test (blood test) and/or accompanied by an ultrasound scan of the abdomen and pelvis
+Side effect of medications: Please let me know if you are on any medications
+Nutritional deficiencies: Especially vitamin K deficiency
and a few other causes.
I would recommend a visit to your physician who will take a few blood samples, and should be able to find the cause so we can address it accordingly ma'am.
I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
