What happens to the blood after you internally bleed?

229 views

Does it just stay there forever? Where does it go in the first place? Does it dry up? If so, how?

I’ve had internal bleeding (abdomen) and without surgery to stop it, it keeps filling you up. Tiny amounts are just reabsorbed (eg irritation from ovulation in women can cause a tiny bleed).

In my case I had a slow bleed for 2 weeks so it had pooled in my lower abdomen and was sloshing up around my lungs when I lay down. A lot of it had clotted around my organs so they had to peel the clots out when they opened me up.
