rebleeding

Second hemorrhage episode

Rebleeding is the recurrence of bleeding from a wound, lesion, or blood vessel that had previously stopped.

The term appears most often in medical contexts—a stomach ulcer that rebleeds, a brain aneurysm that ruptures again: The patient was monitored closely for signs of rebleeding.

The risk of rebleeding influences treatment decisions.
