It can, slowly.

If the bleeding is slow enough, it can be reabsorbed without anybody noticing anything.

If the bleed is fast enough though, the body cannot reabsorb it fast enough.

As it so happens, if you can notice that there is internal bleeding, the bleeding was faster than the absorption rate.

This means that all the examples of “internal bleeding” we know about are those where the bleeding was too fast.

On the flip side, imagine how many times each of us have “internal bleeding” that was so small in volume or so slow in rate that it was all absorbed without anybody noticing.
