What is Internal Bleeding?
One of the most dangerous issues is internal bleeding, which can possibly be fatal if left untreated. It is the bleeding out of the blood vessel. Unlike conventional bleeding which is out from the wound in the surface of the body and can be recognized easily, internal bleeding is bleeding happening inside the body (in the tissue, organ or chamber), which is very difficult to identify without examination methods and certain diagnosis.
Internal bleeding is dangerous because the constant blood loss, uncontrolled with large amounts can cause the patients some symptoms like dizziness, syncope, hypotension, circulatory shock and cardiovascular collapse. If it is not treated in time then the patient will die. The special circumstances such as cerebral hemorrhage, rupture of ectopic pregnancy are urgent emergencies.
Therefore, internal bleeding is always a matter of concern in situations of injury, accident or illness that can easily lead to the phenomenon.
