Internal bleeding generally leads to iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia caused by internal bleeding is primarily due to untreated or poorly managed hemorrhoids, resulting in excessive blood loss and subsequent illness. Complications of this condition can lead to deficiency of both qi and blood, increasing the risk of fainting and falling; therefore, patients must seek timely medical treatment at a hospital.
