Haemorrhages are medically defined as the escape of blood from ruptured blood vessels. Synonyms for this term include bleeding, bloodshed, hemorrhaging, and discharge. Other related terms include loss of blood, shedding of blood, and bleeding out. Haemorrhages can occur in different parts of the body such as the eye, brain, skin, and internal organs. Certain medical conditions such as stroke, aneurysm, and bleeding disorders can cause haemorrhages to occur. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you experience any signs of haemorrhage such as sudden and severe headaches, vision changes, numbness, or weakness in any part of the body.
