Types of Bleeding

Bleeding is the expiration of blood from the vessels, which occurs as a consequence of any damage. Depending on the types of damage, the types of bleeding are traumatic (due to trauma) and non-traumatic (corroding vessels with painful foci, for example, in tuberculosis, oncology, ulcers).

The main sign of the wound is traumatic bleeding. The liquid flows out due to a stroke, a prick, an incision that breaks the walls of the vessels.

Blood clotting for each person is individual. Thanks to this protective mechanism, the body protects itself from great blood loss and spontaneously stops any small, mainly capillary bleeding. The wound is clogged with a clot formed. Also, bleeding can be stopped by squeezing the vessel.

Bleeding is called insufficient coagulability of blood. It can manifest itself in slowness or disproportionate duration. People who suffer from this disease can slowly bleed to death with minor tissue damage.

Any kind of bleeding is dangerous for the human body. A large loss of blood can cause not only impairment of body functions, but also a fatal outcome. First of all, the brain, heart and lungs will not be supplied with enough oxygen. As a consequence, hypoxia of the brain may occur .

Depending on the place where the blood flows, it is common to divide the types of bleeding into external and internal bleeds. With the latter there is a buildup of liquid connective tissue in the body cavities.

External bleeding, the types of which are capillary (the blood oozes from the superficial wounds), the venous (the dark red fluid flows profusely from the deep wound), the arterial (the bright red blood rushes from the deep wound) and the mixed (from the veins and arteries) Removes blood from the human body.

Often in women after the birth of the baby, postpartum hemorrhage opens. Contribute to this fetal membranes, their remains, which are in the uterus, low blood pressure, atonic status of the uterus, blood coagulability disorder, rupture of the uterine cavity.

After giving birth, the cavities of the membranes are examined in detail to determine their completeness. The most common cause of bleeding is the inability of the uterus to contract, that is, the presence of a uterine postpartum atony. Even stimulation is incapable of causing uterine contractions.

Dysfunction of the myometrium layer is caused by gestosis, cardiovascular diseases, kidney or liver diseases, central nervous system disorder, myometrial scarring, uterine neoplasms and uterine cavity dilatations. The aforementioned disorders are facilitated, for example, by multiple pregnancies, large fetuses.

Types of bleeding from the postpartum are divided according to their symptoms. There is abundant, in which the uterus is in the state of atony, and wavy, in which the uterus periodically relaxes and releases clots of blood.

Doctors are able to timely and correctly restore the tone of the uterus, stopping bleeding. If the help is not provided, the body's reserves, which compensate for the great loss of blood, terminate, which leads to an increased blood flow. Often, this is accompanied by hemostasis and hemorrhagic shock.

Therapeutic methods for postpartum hemorrhage are medicated, mechanical and surgical. With a negative result on these methods, doctors do a manual analysis of the walls of the uterine cavity. In addition, manual massage is performed to stimulate the uterine contractility. If inefficiency is used, surgical methods.
