Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
This is fairly uncommon,still there are two factors in your favour,one is your nor normal blood reports and two your age.
There are two factors in such unexplained bleeds,rise of bp or fragility of blood vessels.Such bleeds are more common on the skin,again with trivial trauma.
What you can do is to have Vitamin C(,Ascorbic acid)500mg twice a day for 6 weeksThis will take care of fragility if any of blood vessels and higher doses are excreted from urine so no side effects.
I hope you eat well and exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
