Spitting blood
Spitting blood: Introduction
Blood in the mouth or oral region (such as "Spitting blood") can be
coming from several sources
and determining the location of the bleeding is important.
The blood may result from simple causes like a mouth injury, lip injury,
etc., which are probably not serious if the injury is not serious.
But the blood may also come from more
severe possiblities such as coughing blood, vomiting blood,
gastrointestional bleeding, nosebleeds, throat bleeding, bleeding gums, or other causes of bleeding
symptoms.
Many of these types of bleeding have severe or even life-threatening causes, so this symptom
needs immediate professional medical diagnosis.

Misdiagnosis and Spitting blood
Unnecessary hysterectomies due to undiagnosed bleeding disorder in women: The bleeding disorder
called Von Willebrand's disease is quite common in women, but often fails to be correctly diagnosed.
Women with the condition tend to have heavy periods, since they actually have a bleeding disorder.
Severe afflictions may result in the women receiving a hysterectomy unnecessarily, when the
underlying cause has not been identified.
