An operation to remove a tooth is a rather complicated surgical procedure associated with a forced dislocation of a tooth from a hole in which it is firmly held by living and well-supplied tissues. As a result, these tissues rupture, connecting the tooth with the walls of the socket and with the gums, rupture, and bleeding occurs, which does not always stop quickly.
About how you can stop the blood after tooth extraction, if it, it would seem, does not want to stop, we will talk further.
It is interesting
Sometimes it happens that immediately after tooth extraction, there is practically no blood in the hole, since the adrenaline added to anesthetics in certain cases causes a temporary spasm of the periodontal vessels. At the same time, there is a real risk of the so-called “dry hole” effect, as a result of which the protective blood clot playing an important role may not form at all, which means that reliable biological protection of the wound from infection does not form.
It is important to understand that bleeding from a hole that occurs after tooth extraction is a normal and natural process that just needs to be monitored by the doctor and patient. Most often, the average person does not even have to think about how to stop the blood after tooth extraction, as the dentist-surgeon performs a number of necessary actions that create all the conditions to prevent further bleeding.
However, there are still cases when, after a tooth is pulled out, the blood does not stop for a very long time. Unfortunately, sometimes this causes real panic in patients (usually already at home): everything is flowing from the hole, and it is flowing abundantly, and fears arise in a person’s head that you can simply bleed and die.
On a note
Fatal cases arising from a large loss of blood after tooth extraction are recorded extremely rarely. The latest sensational case dates back to 2009, when a few hours after the extraction of three teeth, a resident of Great Britain Paulina Koles died from heavy blood loss. However, not everything is so simple: the deceased woman had serious health problems (cirrhosis of the liver and poor blood coagulation), as well as a passion for alcohol. It is alcoholism that often becomes a provoking factor in death from a variety of complications.
It is almost impossible to die from blood loss as a result of tooth extraction, but it is quite possible to get serious problems in various organs and organ systems. Therefore, it is useful to have a good idea of the main causes of prolonged bleeding from the hole after tooth extraction, how much blood is normal in a healthy person, and how at home you can effectively stop the blood to prevent undesirable consequences.
Why does a hole sometimes bleed for a long time after tooth extraction?
As a result of trauma to the tissues surrounding the tooth, bleeding occurs, which normally leads to the appearance of a full blood clot in the hole within several hours, which becomes a reliable barrier to infection from the oral cavity to the surface of a fresh wound. If, after tooth extraction, a blood clot does not form, and the blood continues to flow, then they speak of primary bleeding.
If the hole in the place of the torn tooth first stops bleeding, but then after some time the blood starts to flow again, then we are talking about secondary bleeding.
Most often, after tooth extraction, the blood does not stop for a long time due to local factors, namely, as a result of a traumatically performed operation with rupture of soft tissues containing relatively large vessels, and trauma to the alveoli bone.
From the experience of the dentist
Unfortunately, sometimes you have to deal with the unprofessional work of your colleagues dental surgeons when people come to the office with complaints of prolonged bleeding, severe pain and suppuration of the gums after careless and excessively gross extraction of a tooth or several teeth at once. At the same time, the result of the operation is visible to the naked eye: the gum is crushed, the mucous membrane of the cheeks or even the lips are torn, part of the bone sticks out of the wound, not covered by the gum, fragments can even be pointed to the touch, part of the alveolar process of the jaw can be broken off (but, thank God, this barbarism is extremely rare).
If large tooth branches of the arteries are damaged, the blood comes from the depths of the hole. Severe bleeding is often triggered by acute inflammation of the tissues surrounding the diseased tooth, since the vessels in them are significantly dilated and may not subside against the background of a pronounced inflammatory reaction. After the adrenaline from the anesthetic (anesthetic injection) ceases to function, vasodilation may occur, and, as a result, the blood does not begin to flow immediately after tooth extraction, but only after several tens of minutes or a couple of hours.
There are also common causes against which prolonged primary and secondary bleeding is provoked., namely:
- Violations of the blood coagulation process or damage to the vascular system as a result of diseases (hemophilia, acute leukemia, Werlhof’s disease, and some others);
- Reception of anticoagulants of indirect action or heparin;
- Hypertonic disease.
If bleeding is not stopped immediately after tooth extraction, then a person’s general well-being may worsen against the background of prolonged blood loss: often weakness appears, dizziness, skin becomes pale, pulse increases, blood pressure decreases. Despite the fact that deaths due to bleeding from a hole are extremely rare, all necessary measures should be taken to stop the blood as soon as possible and return the body to a normal state.
How long should the blood go from the hole to normal?
After tooth extraction, the dentist-surgeon, depending on each specific situation and taking into account the instructions and indications, solves the issue of stopping the hemorrhage in an accessible and currently acceptable way. The normal process of formation of a full-fledged blood clot usually fits in the interval from 10-15 to 30 minutes.
Thus, if your bleeding continues or begins after the procedure, that is, at home, then this is no longer the norm. In this case, it makes sense to call the clinic and get appropriate advice.
However, there are situations when the patient confuses the bleeding with the release of the anemone from the hole, which can be observed up to several hours after tooth extraction. Sucrowica is a colorless or yellowish liquid with a small admixture of blood, the appearance of which is not a sign of complication. Sometimes such discharge can accompany a person for more than 12 hours, but with varying degrees of intensity. There is absolutely no cause for concern in such situations.
Feedback
Three days ago, I pulled out the upper tooth of wisdom. Moreover, they removed it for a long time and painfully (even tapped it with a hammer), then they forced it to bite a piece of gauze and sent it home. An hour later, such severe pain began that I had to drink an anesthetic pill, and then I fell asleep.
I woke up after a couple of hours from the fact that my mouth was full of blood. I found a piece of sterile bandage in the medicine cabinet, cut it off, bit it, and walked with it like crazy for about 30 minutes.At first, it seemed that the blood stopped, but then a strange liquid formed in the mouth: either saliva with blood, or pus, it is not clear. Somehow I survived the night and went in the morning to the same doctor who pulled out my tooth the day before. The dentist said that this is a nimbus - this is not bleeding, but a normal phenomenon, at least not fatal. She treated me with a gum, put some kind of ointment for healing and again sent home for treatment. Blood stopped oozing quickly, and the medicine had to be drunk for several more days.

Three quick ways to stop blood yourself after tooth extraction
In that case, if the wound bleeds for a long time after tooth extraction and does not form a blood clot, you can apply emergency methods of self-stopping bleeding at home. So, let's see how you can quickly and effectively stop the blood from the hole, using available means for this.
There are three main ways to stop the blood on your own after tooth extraction:
- Tighten a gauze swab with your teeth for 20-30 minutes. You can make such a swab with your own hands from a sterile bandage, but it's easier to buy ready-made sterile gauze napkins in a pharmacy. The principle of using this classic method is not to absorb blood, but to compress the edges of the well, in other words, compression. The stronger the holding of the tampon between the teeth in the hole will be, the more likely there will be a quick stop in the blood (the main thing is without fanaticism).
- If the first option did not have the desired effect and the blood still does not stop, then you can soak the swab with a small amount of 3% hydrogen peroxide. The hemostatic effect is ensured in this case due to the coagulating effect of peroxide. You should not hold it for too long: sometimes it takes only a few minutes to fully maintain the gauze wipe between the teeth.
- And finally, the third way to quickly stop the blood after tooth extraction is to purchase a so-called hemostatic sponge in the pharmacy and put a small piece of the sponge using a gauze swab into the hole, tightly holding it with your teeth. Doing it yourself is not easy, because ideally the sponge should not just be on top of the wound, but also push a little deeper. In fact, it is for professional use, but it is absolutely safe, although technically difficult for self-stopping bleeding.
Having an idea of how to stop blood at home after tooth extraction is, of course, useful, but not always enough. The fact is that there are cases of prolonged bleeding from the hole due to serious illness or taking special medications. Therefore, the indicated self-help may not bring the desired effect, but will only lead to the fact that precious time will be spent.
That is why, if after removing the tooth, the hole or gum bleeds for a long time and home methods for 1-2 hours did not help, it is recommended that you still consult your doctor for advice.
Bleeding after removal of the lower wisdom tooth and methods for stopping it
About removing lower wisdom teeth (eighth) and related bleeding is worth talking separately due to the special arrangement of these teeth. The fact is, they are located at the very end of the jaw, in the area where they are surrounded by very plentiful blood supply tissues. As a result, after removal of the wisdom tooth, bleeding is often particularly pronounced and prolonged.
Despite this, the norms for the formation of a blood clot after the removal of a wisdom tooth are the same 15-30 minutes, which were mentioned above. Even if there was a difficult tooth extraction with dissection of the gums, cutting out the roots, extracting them in pieces from the hole and then suturing the wound, bleeding from the gums should normally stop in this period of time.
It is worth noting that the removal of wisdom teeth is generally considered an operation with relatively increased complexity, because it is no coincidence that in private clinics it is charged 3-4 times more expensive than the removal of a regular tooth. First of all, this applies to the lower “eights”, because it is these wise teeth that can be crooked or their roots intertwined with the roots of neighboring teeth, creating additional difficulties.
On a note
The danger of removal arises even because of the location of the wisdom tooth, when access is not easy, and the doctor has to carry out the removal almost blindly. Sometimes there are quite terrible situations when during the procedure they can literally break their mouth, as the doctor inserts the instruments with great effort, and the mouth may not open as well as the location of the tooth requires. And although a “torn” mouth is just tears in the corners of the mouth that, with proper treatment, heal in a couple of days, nevertheless, the sensations are very unpleasant.
In addition, a torn tool can seriously cut the cheek and gum. Then it will be necessary to stop the blood not only from the hole, but also from a wound received accidentally.
Bleeding can also intensify in cases where the dentist opens the wound too wide, since he needs to see deep-lying roots, and the viewing angle is small.
To stop prolonged bleeding after removing a wisdom tooth, you can use the same methods that were already mentioned above (although obtaining the result can be somewhat more difficult, since the wound can be quite wide).
If you see that you can’t achieve a quick effect on your own, then the best option is to contact the dentist for help in the clinic as soon as possible. Prolonged continuous bleeding from the wound creates the prerequisites for suturing the edges of the gums around the hole with the preliminary setting of hemostatic agents.
Professional methods of stopping bleeding from a hole (in the dentist's office)
So, if after removing the tooth the gum continues to bleed heavily, and the blood clot in the hole does not form for several hours, then you should not wait and continue to bleed: it is better to seek professional help from a dentist. Or immediately give yourself emergency help by applying simple methods of stopping the blood. However, as mentioned above, one should not forget that stopping the blood at home is not always possible.
Suppose that you nevertheless turned to the dentist with your problem (they usually turn to the same doctor who performed the tooth extraction). Let's see what methods of stopping the blood can be used by a doctor - in general, such methods are divided into two groups: local and general.
Local methods of stopping bleeding
If arterial bleeding occurs, in which blood flows from the well with a slightly pulsating stream, then the dentist-surgeon can bandage the damaged vessel and suture the torn gum.
When small vessels are injured, electrocoagulation of the wound surface can be used to stop the blood.
If there is blood after tooth extraction from the wall of the hole or inter-root septum, then bleeding stops by squeezing a portion of the bleeding bone with bayonet forceps.
If blood after tooth extraction flows from the depths of the well, other approaches are used to stop the bleeding. In Soviet times, blood from the hole was stopped using a tamponade with iodoform turunda (iodoform is a strong antiseptic). At the same time, the iodoform turunda was introduced into the hole in a special way: from the very bottom, a strip was plugged, stacked in multiple layers and folded to the very edges of the gums, on which sutures and a gauze napkin were then applied. After 5-6 days, forcible extraction of turunda was required, which often did not lead to anything good, and sometimes also provoked repeated bleeding.
In order not to get into the delicate structures of the healing wound, hemostatic resorbable drugs subsequently began to be used. These include, for example, the following:
- Means made from human blood (hemostatic sponge, fibrin film);
- Means on the basis of blood and animal tissues (“Kostostan” gelatin sponge, hemostatic collagen sponge, antiseptic sponge with gentamicin, which also has antimicrobial properties, etc.).
General methods for stopping bleeding from a dental well
If after a tooth is pulled out, the blood does not want to stop, then along with local methods of stopping bleeding, general methods can also be applied. Ideally, this option of professional help requires a number of analyzes and consultations of specialists (for example, a therapist, cardiologist, hematologist), however, in emergency situations, you can use injections of hemostatic drugs, so to speak, "until the" clarification of the true causes of severe bleeding.
Common methods for stopping blood from a hole in a extracted tooth include the following:
- Intravenous injection of a 10% solution of calcium chloride and calcium gluconate;
- Intramuscular injection of 1 ml of 1% Vikasol solution;
- Intravenous administration of 2 ml of a 12.5% Decinon solution.
In case of hypertension, in addition to emergency general and local help in stopping bleeding from the gums after tooth extraction, hypotensive therapy with appropriate drugs should be carried out together with a therapist or cardiologist. Lowering blood pressure to a normal level almost always contributes to the rapid stop of blood from a wound.

Disgusting photos, interfere with the normal reading of the article ((
I completely agree with Anna, the photos are superfluous (
You have found the answer to your question - and this is the main thing. So do not swear at the pictures, they are needed for work. All be healthy and strong teeth!
I don’t care about photographs, it’s more important to find a way to stop the blood after opening the bump in the upper tooth, which appeared a week after the incision ... Thanks for the advice. I'm going to use peroxide.
Ordinary photos. The article is designed for beginners or students (because they see it every day, doing their job). The action algorithm is described here. Obviously not for ordinary people who came to treat their teeth. You will not be able to close the wound by all the rules, nor will you make an injection. An article for dentists.
An article for patients! The topic is “How to stop bleeding after tooth extraction,” and students and specialists are trained at the school!
Hope, if there is heavy bleeding after removal, you should immediately contact the clinic where the tooth was removed, and not self-medicate. This is all fraught with consequences.And most importantly - the loss of blood and time to stop bleeding.
Thank you doctor! In my opinion, the topic of stopping bleeding after tooth extraction is very well and thoroughly covered. And it’s good that now there is an opportunity on the Internet to find all possible options for the first “self-help”. I personally heard / read everything before this in the article.
P.S. In numerous health forums, now any inquisitive and sane person, with some patience, will find a ton of information. And others, instead of habit, can look for defects and blemishes, expressing negative emotions as well, looking for the guilty, instead of gratitude 🙂 It's just amazing.
Good article. Photos to the place and perfectly illustrate the information.
You, as usual, will not understand you doctors. The article writes that if the bleeding is more than half an hour, then this is abnormal and you need to urgently go to the hospital. The second day I bleed, and the dentist clucks that everything is fine and still accuses me of violating the recommendations of the surgeon.
Hello! How many doctors - there are so many opinions)) It's a joke, but its meaning is that your attending physician is either incompetent in dentistry, or I’m sure that you do not have bleeding, but a tomb that you spit out with saliva. If the examination was carried out in an armchair, then the doctor is most likely right that there is nothing to fear. On the other hand, in his place, I would put a hemostatic sponge into the hole for anyone who makes such requests. Reinsurance is sometimes more important due to the fact that there is no criticism of the doctor and the patient is calmer.
Great article and photos. I had no idea what was there and how. I'm sitting, mouth full of blood clot. I hope it stops flowing. Blood went 7 hours after removal. The photo is very welcome - at least I see the full picture of what I have there right now.
You would have stuck 100,500 characters of text here. Why not give advice immediately from above, but the rest of the nonsense about blood loss, etc. for those wishing to clean down?
Blood flowed, went to the dentist, he poured powder and put down a tampon. After I pulled it out, there was something white in my hole. Maybe it was a bandage?
Hello! According to the information you provided, I can’t accurately answer this question, since two options are possible: either these are really the remnants of a gauze swab, or the hemostatic drug that was used. There are many means to help in such cases, and it is difficult to say without inspection. I think that it is worthwhile to see a doctor and determine exactly whether gauze remained in the hole as foreign material.
Immediately after the extraction of the molar, the blood went for a long time, 40 minutes, then the sucrose went. It lasted more than an hour, then pink saliva went, and everything stopped. But I opened your article and advice, read it and was pleased that I did not rinse my mouth, and the thought was to buy a napkin. I'm afraid to eat, I'll wait another time. In general, many thanks for the help with advice. Inspired!
So much water. Especially for the dentist.
Thank you very much for the article, everything is clear and on the shelves! For any reader, all the answers to questions and very affordable!
Hello! After removing the wisdom tooth from the bottom, I have saliva with blood on the third day. That is, I do not even swallow saliva, but constantly spit it out. Because the saliva is bloody. The wound was stitched after removal. You can say it does not hurt, but there is swelling. On the second day, the swelling became larger. On the third or the same, or maybe a little asleep, but saliva is also with blood.Is this normal or not? The tooth was removed for a long time, and the hammer was pounded. Thanks in advance for the dentist’s response.
The lower wisdom teeth (eights) are located in a corner on the bend of the jaw and in most cases have curved curved roots, which greatly complicates their extraction from the jaw. Therefore, only teeth up to 4-5 are simply removed with forceps. In other cases, you have to resort to the help of other tools: chisels, hammers and even drill with a drill along with the jaw area. The result is a wound with a crushed, chopped, ragged surface. Such trauma leads to postoperative edema up to 5-7 days, prolonged bleeding and poor healing. The inflammatory process leads to the formation of a sacrum and an inferior blood clot. Constant spitting leads to the displacement of a blood clot from its place and the resumption of bleeding. An admixture of even 1 \ 50 part of the blood to the saliva leads to its staining in red, but this is not bleeding. So just STOP SPITING! You yourself partially provoke bleeding. You have already done the necessary suturing of the hole, plus the doctor should have prescribed additional medication. Even so, the healing process of a hole after a traumatic extraction of wisdom teeth takes 1.5-2 months and may be accompanied by pain and difficulty opening the mouth. Everything that you described is a common occurrence.
Hello! I agree with an Experienced Doctor. Sucrowica is a common phenomenon that is confused with bleeding. With complex removals, especially - such traumatic, such phenomena are not uncommon. If you have a tendency to improve every day, then do not panic. Otherwise, consult your doctor to clarify the situation.
But how, then, to recognize whether it is bleeding or an anemone? The second day after removal, not just pink saliva, but blood clots. I don’t know what to do. The dentist said to put ice on her cheek. She also said that she had touched an artery.
Good afternoon, Maria. The tooth artery may have been affected during tooth extraction. This happens and is the norm for complex deletions. Apply ice to your cheek through a cotton or linen towel for 10-15 minutes every hour (3-4 times). The presence of secretions (sucrose or blood clots) is the norm after tooth extraction. Within 3 days, everything should stop. If this does not happen, then it is recommended to see a doctor.
The wisdom tooth was removed at 15 o’clock. Now it’s 18:28. The swab did not clean, and dark blood constantly accumulated in the mouth. Please tell me what I need to do? Thank you in advance.
Good afternoon, Iraida. During the first 2 days after tooth extraction, the hole may bleed - this is absolutely normal. During today (that is, on the day the tooth is removed), ice can be applied for 15-20 minutes through a cotton or linen towel every hour for 2-3 hours. Cold vasoconstrictes and minimizes edema after removal. It is also useful to monitor blood pressure (many anesthetics contain adrenaline, which constricts blood vessels and, as a result, increases blood pressure).
If bleeding is very pronounced and the blood does not stop for a long time, then you need to bite a gauze swab in the area of removal and consult your doctor for examination and prescription of a hemostatic drug.
Need to make decinon
Hello. I had 17 teeth removed from the top. The doctor said to hold the tampon for three hours and remove, I did so, but as soon as I removed it, blood flowed. It didn’t drip, namely it flowed for several minutes. I tried to stop her, I managed to partially.The clinic is 20 minutes away, taking into account small traffic jams, I drove in 30 minutes. The doctor immediately tried to sew up, but the blood flowed like a bucket. I realized that they could not stop, and I told him: we went to the hospital, you need to call an ambulance. He stuffed the hole with tampons and I bit them. The main stream stopped, and what was collected in the mouth turned into clots, I spat out.
The ambulance arrived in forty minutes. I ended up in the maxillofacial hospital, where they put another five stitches in me. During this time, I lost more than a liter of blood. Please tell me why the blood was pouring? Maybe something hurt me?
Hello Erlan! Tooth extraction is an operation associated with damage to the integrity of the tissues surrounding the tooth, and sometimes these damage can be significant. However, usually with severe bleeding, other factors also act. For example, a lot depends on the general somatic state: if you take blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants), such as, for example, warfarin or even acetylsalicylic acid, then the blood can go plentifully and for a long time.
Another option - during the extraction of the tooth, an arterial vessel (arteriole) was damaged, which made it difficult to stop the bleeding. Another option is an increase in blood pressure after administration of the drug with epinephrine (adrenaline - it is usually used in combination with an anesthetic). Sometimes it happens that all 3 factors can occur in one case. At this stage of treatment, I recommend that you follow all doctor's prescriptions.
They removed the tooth. Two weeks have passed - blood has gone. An injection was made, but the bleeding did not go away. And peroxide does not help. I am taking warfarin. What to do?
Hello. Warfarin is an anticoagulant of blood, it dilutes it and reduces coagulation. You need to contact the doctor who prescribed this drug and discuss the possibility of temporary discontinuation of Warfarin for the healing period of the hole.
2 teeth located next to each other were removed at 13 o’clock. It’s already 3 o’clock in the morning, everything’s bleeding, I don’t have time to change the tampon with caproic acid - according to the recommendation of a dentist-surgeon to stop bleeding. Warfarin 2 day already missed, what next! I don’t know how to sleep, I constantly spit out my mouth, I spit. Skipping warfarin is fraught with heart! What to do?
Hello, Tatyana! Against the background of taking Warfarin (this is a powerful anticoagulant), it was necessary to take preventive measures in advance to prevent the development of severe bleeding. This is, first of all, the cancellation of taking Warfarin 1 day before removal, then - hemostasis in the dentist’s office and taking hemostatic drugs with the consent of the attending physician. At the moment, it makes no sense to rely on lotions - you need to call an ambulance to provide the necessary medical care. The surgeon on duty will take all necessary measures to quickly stop the bleeding. From what you can do right away, you need to apply cold in the area of the extracted teeth (through the tissue and without excessive fanaticism to prevent frostbite).
The upper wisdom tooth was removed, and two days later at 5 p.m. the hole began to bleed. What could be the reason?
Hello Maria! After tooth extraction, a protective blood clot forms in the hole, and normal bleeding does not occur. The symptoms described by you indicate the presence of factors that could damage the clot: 1) Rinse the clot. 2) Injured the tooth hole (when brushing your teeth, for example). 3. Blood pressure has risen dramatically (for example, after physical exertion).
Sometimes one or several factors contribute to the bleeding of the hole.Be that as it may, I recommend contacting a dentist-surgeon for an examination.
2 upper teeth were removed side by side. Sick, it seems, both. Due to severe pain, I had to make 2 injections of pain medication. Removing the past is good, but the blood did not stop for long. Did everything as the doctor ordered. He said swab to hold for 15 minutes. Then clean. Spitting clots endlessly. When I realized that the bleeding could not be stopped, I made a VERY large cotton swab with gauze (all from sterile, of course). Put on the hole. Strongly bit her and did not open her mouth, despite the fact that there was something leaking! I held the swab for about an hour. Then she carefully pulled out a swab. And lo and behold! Blood has stopped! It was already at night. And the teeth were removed at 11-00. I was about to call an ambulance, but nothing happened. Here, maybe it was what they did 2 injections of pain medication. Maybe the hole was big - 2 teeth were removed nearby.
My advice to you: if a simple method (tampon) does not help, then urgently consult a doctor! Everyone has their own characteristics - we have different teeth, and health, and we drink different tablets. And be healthy!
2 weeks have passed since the tooth was removed ... In the morning after sleep, blood clots come out of the wound. I work during the day - it’s not bleeding. The surgeon was recorded only on Tuesday. Is this condition dangerous?
Hello, Yana! The symptoms you describe are not health threatening. Therefore, do not worry and wait for the appointment of a dental surgeon.
Good evening! On Monday, the child had a chewing tooth removed from below. And today is Thursday, it began to bleed and in the hole some kind of dark lump of blood. It’s been bleeding for 3.5 hours. The bandage was bitten. Please tell me what to do, call an ambulance or wait in the morning and go to the doctor? How to sleep with blood? The child is 8 years old, thanks in advance for the answer!
Hello. If the hole only bleeds slightly, that is, there is no severe bleeding, then there is no need to call an ambulance in the situation you described, since there is no emergency. In this case, make an appointment with your doctor for an examination in the morning. If the bleeding is strong (change the bandage and it is completely saturated with blood again), then call an ambulance.
Hello. On Thursday I got the lower wisdom tooth removed. Removal was difficult, the doctor worked for more than an hour. Today is already Monday, and the blood still flows abundantly and does not stop. How can bleeding be stopped?
Hello, Ildar. The situation you are describing is not normal. It is urgent to consult your doctor to examine and stop bleeding. It is advisable that someone accompany you, and if this is not possible and you feel weak, it is better to call an ambulance.
