Doctors look for sources of internal or external bleeding. They stop the bleeding. If it is caused by liver failure, they check for a possible liver transplant. They may treat it by a bone marrow transplant. If it is caused by a lack of iron in the diet, they may put the patient on a diet high in iron. If it is caused by kidney failure, they may put the patient on dialysis. If the patient is a woman with excessive bleeding, they may perform a hysterectomy. Or, if the patient is extremely old or they decide nothing can be done that will enable the patient to recover, they do not do anything.
