[|Human|] Hi My mother is 93 and has unexplained bruising on both hips in the area of the "love handles" the discomfort seems to be superficial and denies any bump or falling (her mind is very clear).  It is getting a little better. Should we be terribly worried?  Tylenol makes her comfortable.  she is ambulatory.  Thank you
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Bruises on body most commonly occur due to trauma or blunt injury. However, if there is no known cause for bruising, platelet disorder or coagulation disorder. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and relevant investigations- platelet count and platelet function tests. If these tests turn out to be normal, assay of coagulation factors need to be done. Vitamin K deficiency or liver diseases can also cause coagulation disorders. Thus liver function test is also required. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
