Bruises
SPIDER
what we refer to as a bruise is just the visible result of bleeding underneath the skin. we most commonly get bruises if we hit our body against something and damage the cells and blood vessels beneath the skin; the damaged blood vessels leak blood, but the blood is contained underneath the skin because there is no wound leading to the outside. however, if there is some internal bleeding that is near enough the outermost layers of skin, there could be some bruising. -cj2407
Bruises and contusionsWhen you get punched, capillaries and larger veins are ruptured. This causes blood to form bruises and contusions in muscles and skin tissue. Yet, not meaning that they are completely broken.
Yes, bacterial infections can lead to bleeding in the affected area due to inflammation and damage to blood vessels caused by the infection.
Rectal bleeding is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the rectum or colon; treatment relies upon identifying what has caused the damage to the vessels and stopping that. However, rectal bleeding is generally not a good sign - one of the main causes of rectal bleeding is cancer of the pelvic canal that is spreading throughout the tissues in the area. A veterinarian can perform some basic diagnostic tests and start narrowing down the cause, which will then guide the appropriate treatment.
The potential causes of bleeding in a bladder infection can include irritation and inflammation of the bladder lining, as well as damage to blood vessels in the bladder due to the infection.
Yes, a cut on your finger may keep bleeding due to damage to the blood vessels in the area. The blood vessels undergo a series of reactions to form a clot and stop the bleeding. If the cut is deep or if there is a clotting disorder, the bleeding may persist.
Bleeding near the optic disc can be caused by several factors, including diabetic retinopathy, which leads to the formation of new, fragile blood vessels that can rupture, and hypertension, which can cause damage to the retinal blood vessels. Other potential causes include retinal vein occlusion, trauma, and certain inflammatory conditions. Such bleeding can lead to vision problems and requires prompt evaluation by an eye care professional.
If there is no bleeding, the cut has likely not penetrated into the dermis, as the dermis contains blood vessels that would typically bleed when injured. It is more likely that the cut is limited to the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin. However, some deeper abrasions or injuries may not bleed if they are superficial and do not damage the blood vessels. A thorough examination is needed to determine the depth of the injury.

Getting punched in the nose can cause the blood vessels in the nose to rupture, leading to a nosebleed. The force of the punch can damage the delicate tissues inside the nose, resulting in bleeding. Swelling and inflammation can also contribute to a bloody nose after being punched.
Cancer of the esophagus can cause bleeding due to the tumor invading nearby blood vessels or tissues, leading to erosion and ulceration. As the cancer grows, it can disrupt the normal structure of the esophagus, making it more susceptible to damage and bleeding during swallowing or due to other mechanical stress. Additionally, advanced tumors may metastasize, affecting surrounding organs and blood supply, further contributing to bleeding complications.
Yes. That's what a bruise is actually. Damaged blood vessels cause bleeding under the skin which causes bruises. Bruises are caused by being struck by something.
