The Dangers of Internal Bleeding
After suffering physical trauma, some individuals may experience internal bleeding. Unfortunately, they may not immediately realize that they even have this condition. Internal bleeding is a serious health issue that should be treated immediately, but it does not always create noticeable symptoms right away.
In some cases, internal bleeding leads to a tragic death. If your loved one passed away after suffering internal bleeding because of an accident someone else caused, the Pennsylvania wrongful death lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. may be able to help. To learn more, call us at 610-667-7511.
Causes and Symptoms
Often, internal bleeding occurs after suffering blunt force to a sensitive area. The event may have been a car wreck, an assault, or an accident of some kind. Internal bleeding may also result from medical conditions such as high blood pressure or aneurysms. Some individuals who receive surgery may also be at risk for internal bleeding if they were not correctly sutured.
Many times, an individual may not realize that he or she is suffered from internal bleeding, as they may not experience pain or discomfort. Some individuals may have relatively subtle symptoms, such as:
- Bruising
- Weakness
- Pale skin
- Hypovolemia (decreased blood volume)
Any of these symptoms may signal internal bleeding, so it is important to seek medical attention if you experience them following a physical trauma of some kind.
