Hi, I have a quick question for the medical field subject!

I googled this and got nothing that answered me, but i want to know...

How can you tell if someone is bleeding internally? This is going to be in a report for class, and I'd like to know if my belief is correct, or incorrect and if there is a way to tell without a machine.
My belief is, well- you know how bruising begins to form over a day or two? It takes time to show how worse it is, depending on how bad it is. Well my assumption is that a bruising like pattern appears on the skin, in large sections.

If I'm wrong please tell me! If you know other ways also share! Please!

If the bleeding is rapid, enough blood may build up to press on internal structures or to form a bulge or discoloration under your skin.
