What is Severe Acute Bleeding?Answer: Severe acute bleeding occurs when uterine bleeding is heavy enough to require changing tampons or pads more than once per hour. Severe acute bleeding can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, as well as a dangerous drop in blood volume. Severe acute bleeding occurs most often in adolescents who have a disorder, such as von Willebrand disease, that prevents blood from clotting; adult women who have submucous fibroids; and in adults using anticoagulant medications.
