What is Internal Bleeding?

Internal bleeding, also called internal hemorrhage, refers to blood loss occurring inside the body where it is not immediately visible, most often within the abdominal or chest cavity, the skull, or around major organs. It can result from traumatic injury, ruptured blood vessels, bleeding from an organ such as the spleen or liver, or complications of a medical condition such as an ulcer or aneurysm. Because the bleeding is hidden, it can be difficult to recognize early and may progress rapidly to life-threatening blood loss and shock before becoming clinically apparent. Diagnostic imaging such as ultrasound, CT scan, and sometimes exploratory surgery is often required to urgently locate the source and extent of bleeding.
