Spontaneous bleeding (SBC) is a condition in which blood leaks from the body for no apparent reason or without a previous disease. It can be caused by a variety of reasons, including injury, tumors, infections, blood disorders, and other conditions.
Spontaneous bleeding can lead to serious consequences such as anemia (low hemoglobin levels in the blood), hypotension (low blood pressure) and shock (a sharp drop in blood pressure). It can also cause blood loss, which can lead to anemia and other diseases.
To diagnose spontaneous bleeding, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the patient. The doctor should perform an examination, ask questions about symptoms, and perform laboratory tests such as blood tests and coagulation tests. An ultrasound or computed tomography may also be required.
Treatment for spontaneous bleeding depends on its cause. If the bleeding is caused by an injury, surgery will be necessary to stop the bleeding. For tumors or infections, treatment with antibiotics or surgical removal of the tumor may be required.
In general, spontaneous bleeding is a dangerous condition that requires immediate medical attention. Timely treatment can help avoid serious consequences and maintain the patient's health.
Bleeding is the leakage of blood from the bloodstream or cavities of the heart. Anything that has arteries, veins or capillaries can bleed. Spontaneous is a process that develops without the participation of external factors: independent, spontaneous cessation and resumption, an increase or decrease in the intensity of blood loss occurs after a certain time.
Bleeding is divided into several types: arterial, venous, capillary and parenchymal. The primary task is to stop spontaneous bleeding, because the loss of even a minimal amount of blood poses a great danger to the health and life of the patient. In most cases, immediate intervention must be taken, but sometimes diagnostic measures are required before spontaneous bleeding can be controlled. It all depends on the cause of the bleeding. If it is caused by damage to a section of the vessel wall, dressing should be performed as soon as possible. In cases with parenchymal bleeding, it is not always possible to quickly cope with the situation; surgery is most often required.
The most common cases of spontaneous bleeding are: - vessels for transporting blood (blood vessels): wounds, cuts, fractures, bruises, damage to cartilage, blood vessels, animal bites, etc.; - gastrointestinal tract (GIT): gastric and duodenal ulcers, stomach cancer, acute and chronic gastric and duodenal ulcers, erosive gastritis, disruption of the integrity of the mucous membrane, gastric diverticula; inflammation of the inner lining of the stomach; a sharp increase and decrease in acidity levels; intra-abdominal tumors; diaphragmatic hernia; peritonitis; the presence of cracks and tears in the rectum; esophageal injury.
Often, bleeding from injuries is post-traumatic. Petechiae are pinpoint microscopic hemorrhages on the skin. You can also find hemorrhagic bruises - bruises ranging in size from 1 to 5 cm with clear boundaries, located on the skin due to damage to the saphenous veins in a limited area of the body. Hematomas are cavities filled with blood, which seeps into them from ruptured vessels. A very dangerous sign of bruising. At first they have a red or purple tint, then they turn blue and appear through the skin, increasing in size. Blood continues to accumulate under the skin, swelling gradually appears, and it may be compressed. Sometimes there is an increase in body temperature, chills, and tachycardia. Symptoms can completely disappear in one day, sometimes this process takes several days.
