Haemorrhagic
Haemorrhagic is a medical term referring to bleeding or the abnormal flow of blood. This condition can occur both internally and externally. Haemorrhagic conditions can range from minor bruises or nosebleeds to life-threatening haemorrhagic stroke or haemorrhagic fever.
Types of Haemorrhagic Conditions[edit | edit source]
There are several types of haemorrhagic conditions, including:
- Haemorrhagic stroke: This occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures. It's less common than an ischemic stroke but can be more deadly.
- Haemorrhagic fever: This is a group of viral diseases characterized by damage to the body's blood vessels, which can lead to high fever and bleeding.
- Subarachnoid haemorrhage: This is bleeding in the space between the brain and the surrounding membrane, often due to a ruptured aneurysm.
- Haemophilia: This is a genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to make blood clots, leading to excessive bleeding.
