Learning the symptoms of bleeding

When you see a bleeding cut on your finger or a scratch on your knee, you immediately realize that you are bleeding, right? However, sometimes you may have a bleeding without seeing blood. Do you know why? The bleeding is happening inside your body. For example, in a muscle, in joint, or somewhere else.

Don’t worry though! If a bleeding happens inside your body, you can easily identify it, if you learn to recognize some “signs” called bleeding symptoms.

Bleeding into joints occur when:

1

all of a sudden you feel something like a tickle in your joint. This means that a bleeding starts!

2

slowly your joint becomes hot, swollen and painful

3

you have difficulty flexing your elbow or knee

4

you identify that the skin on your elbows or knees is stretched or swollen

Bleeding into muscles occur when: 

1

all of a sudden you feel something like a tickle in your calf, leg or hand. This is the first sign of bleeding!

2

see a new large bruise your calf, foot or hand

3

the area starts to get hot and painful

4

the area swells and becomes hard

5

αισθανθείς ένα μούδιασμα

6

μετά από λίγο δυσκολεύεσαι να κινήσεις την άρθρωση που βρίσκεται κοντά σε αυτό το σημείο

You feel headaches, you get dizzy, you feel like you want to vomit, or you feel the need to sleep (especially if just before you hit your head)

You vomit
 

You see that your urine is red or brown

 
If you recognize any of the above symptoms in your body, you should immediately report it to an adult near you (such as your parents or teachers). They will tell you what you need to do to stop the bleeding and get your treatment fast.
