What Causes Bleeding And Swelling After Straddle Injury?
My daughter had a straddle injury and now she is bleeding. She racked herself on a monkey bar and it was a pretty hard fall. She has some swelling where she hit but the bleeding has me very concerned. How much is to be expected? Can she have damaged anything?

Hello,
Bleeding should stop in a couple of minutes. If this does not happen, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests. Prolonged bleeding can cause anemia and low blood pressure (also called hypovolemic shock).
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
