'''Haemorrhage (bleeding)''' is [a]n abnormal escape of blood from an artery, a vein, an arteriole, a venule or a capillary network. Haemorrhage may occur into a body cavity or organ, into tissues such as muscles, or externally by way of a wound. Internal haemorrhage often causes a HAEMATOMA. Severe haemorrhage results in dangerous loss of circulating blood volume and there may be insufficient to supply the heart muscle and the brain. This is inevitably fatal unless a rapid transfusion of blood is given. Insufficient circulating fluid causes the syndrome of surgical [[Shock| SHOCK]] for which fluid replacement is urgently needed. This need not be whole blood; an infusion of salt water (saline) can save life.<ref>{{REFweb | '''Haemorrhage (bleeding)''' is [a]n abnormal escape of blood from an artery, a vein, an arteriole, a venule or a capillary network.

Neonatal circumcision is an elective, medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic [[amputation]] of the healthy [[foreskin]] that is done only after parents sign a [[circumcision consent form]]. It exposes an infant to surgical risks, but does not treat or prevent disease.<ref name="deacon2022">{{REFjournal | |||
