internal bleeding
Concealed blood loss
Internal bleeding is blood loss that stays inside the body, typically from damaged organs or blood vessels.
Unlike external wounds, it isn't visible, making it dangerous—symptoms like dizziness, bruising, or abdominal pain may be the only signs.
The doctors discovered internal bleeding from the car crash.
Often a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment.
