Easy bruising: There are lab tests available that may shed some light on why you bruise easily. A doctor would be able to order these specific tests for your needs. Some people tend to bruise easier than others and that is a normal phenomenon, so if the tests are normal in your situation, just consider yourself fragile. All the best!
