Why can’t the body re-absorb blood during internal bleeding?

Question

I understand the blood is going places its “not supposed to be” but its still on the inside so whats the deal?

Eventually it does get reabsorbed, but that happens slowly (it’s how bruises heal).

The bigger problem with internal bleeding is that if blood is going where it shouldn’t be, it means it’s not going where it should be, and it’s leaving the circulatory system, so you get the same problem as bleeding out: there’s less and less blood circulating.
