An internal force injury is a serious injury which occurs when the body collides with or hits a large object.
The internal force injuries are most common in contact sports such as ice hockey and football.
Internal force injuries from blunt force are a serious injury that requires medical attention.
The difference between internal injuries and external injuries are external injuries are injuries that occur on the outside of the body such as cuts, scrapes, burns, etc and internal injuries are injuries that occur in the inside of the body which cannot be seen without imaging tests.
Examples of internal injuries are internal bleeding such as from a car crash, blow to the stomach, liver damage, abdominal trauma, stomach bleeding etc or damage to internal organs.
Stomach bleeding feels like abdominal pain and abdominal cramping and can also cause you to feel weak, dizzy, faint, shortness of breath, sometimes bloody poop, black tarry poop and or diarrhea.
With stomach bleeding you may also go into shock and have a rapid pulse and drop in your blood pressure and even become pale looking.
The signs that you have internal bleeding in the stomach are blood in vomit or poop, stomach pain, abdominal cramping, nausea or black or tarry looking poop.
An endoscopy or X Ray or other imaging tests can help to diagnose any possible internal bleeding in the stomach.
Internal injuries are not always life threatening but if you have any internal bleeding it can lead to coma, death or organ failure.
Severe internal bleeding and severe internal injuries are life threatening without treatment and can even cause death with treatment.

Internal bleeding is most often silent and can go unnoticed for several hours or even days and then can be deadly although some internal bleeding shows symptoms.
If you ignore internal bleeding it can lead to coma, organ failure and even death.
The difference between bleeding and internal bleeding is bleeding is when bleeding or blood comes out and occurs externally such as from a cut, puncture etc and internal bleeding is bleeding that occurs in the body which can be unnoticed.
Internal bleeding also requires a high level of clinical suspicion obtained through a thorough history and physical, laboratory tests, imaging, and close monitoring of vital signs.
If internal bleeding goes unnoticed and untreated it can lead to coma, organ failure and even death.
And even with treatment sometimes severe internal injuries can still cause death so it's very important to get checked out if you suspect internal bleeding.
The 4 signs of internal bleeding are pain at the injured site, swollen or tight abdomen, nausea and vomiting and pale, clammy, sweaty skin.

The internal bleeding may not be evident for many hours after it begins, and symptoms may only occur when there is significant blood loss or if a blood clot is large enough to compress an organ and prevent it from functioning properly.
