    GlossaryBleeding (Hemorrhage)

    loss of blood from the circulatory system

    Bleeding, also known as hemorrhage, refers to the loss of blood from the circulatory system, which can occur internally (within the body) or externally (through a natural opening such as the mouth, nose, or a wound). It can result from various causes, including trauma, surgical procedures, or medical conditions like ulcers or blood clotting disorders. Proper management is crucial to prevent significant blood loss and potential complications such as shock or organ failure.
