you should apply direct pressure to the place that is bleeding, and lie down raising your leg as high as you can, if this doesn't stop the bleeding within a short time, call an ambulance.

Is retinal vein occlusion related to root canal work?

Retinal Vein OcclusionThe central retinal vein is the venous equivalent of the central retinal artery, and like that blood vessel can suffer from occlusion (central retinal vein occlusion), similar to that seen in ocular ischemic syndrome. Since the central retinal artery and vein are the sole source of blood supply and drainage for the retina, such occlusion can lead to severe damage to the retina and blindness, due to ischemia (restriction in blood supply) and edema (swelling). It can also cause glaucoma.

What is the lump under the skin in wrist when you break a vein?

A lump under the skin in the wrist after breaking a vein may be a hematoma, which is a collection of blood that has pooled outside of blood vessels due to the injury. This can occur when a vein is damaged, causing blood to leak into surrounding tissues. The lump can be swollen, discolored, and tender, but it usually resolves on its own as the body reabsorbs the blood. If the lump persists or is accompanied by severe pain, it's advisable to seek medical attention.
