Unexplained Bruise on Right Side of Abdomen

Bruises are a common reaction to trauma or injuries like falls, cuts, or slamming against hard objects like furniture. The blood vessels close to the skin's surface may burst as a result of these wounds. Blood from the vessels seeps into the tissues under the skin and becomes entrapped there, resulting in the formation of a bruise.

As you get older, you might also find that you bruise more easily. This is quite natural. Even a little accident might result in a bruise as your skin gets drier and more sensitive.

Additionally, taking particular drugs may increase your risk of bruises. NSAIDs, blood thinners, corticosteroids, aspirin, and dietary supplements like vitamin E and ginkgo biloba are some of them.

However, if you frequently bruise without any apparent reason, it could be a sign of a more serious illness, including liver or renal disease or even cancer. Unexpected bruising should be treated as soon as possible, especially if you also have other symptoms like exhaustion, a low-grade fever, or unexpected weight loss.

Conclusion

The prognosis for internal bruising is highly dependent on the location of the bruising as well as the intensity of the bruising. Your doctor could suggest home care for minor bruises, which includes resting, using ice, and managing discomfort. Internal bruising that is more severe may need to be treated surgically or under medical monitoring. The most common causes of internal bruising include blunt force trauma, falls, and accidents.
