R04.1: Haemorrhage from throat

Haemorrhage from the throat, or throat bleeding, is a medical condition where there is an unexpected, uncontrolled flow of blood from the throat. It can result from various causes such as trauma or injury to the throat area, complications following medical procedures involving the throat, or certain diseases and infections which might disrupt the lining of the throat. The primary symptom is noticeable bleeding, either coughed up or seen in saliva. In some cases, it may be accompanied by pain or discomfort in the throat, difficulty in swallowing, or a sensation of something stuck in the throat. While throat bleeding can be alarming, it's important to note that the severity can vary greatly - from minor cases that resolve spontaneously to more serious ones that warrant immediate medical intervention. The lower respiratory system, especially the throat and the upper digestive tract, are directly affected by this condition.
