Internal bleeding caused by an organism's own pathological processes rather than external trauma.
From auto- (self) + hemorrhage (from Greek haima 'blood' + rhegnynai 'to burst forth'). Medical term for spontaneous bleeding originating from internal disease processes or autoimmune conditions.
Autohemorrhage can be terrifying because patients bleed internally without any obvious injury—it happens in conditions like hemophilia and severe thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), where your body just can't stop bleeding from its own mysterious internal triggers.
