How long can you survive with a damaged spleen?
A minor rupture may only cause a small, slow bleed. This gives you more time, but it also makes it easier to overlook. A more severe bleed will usually be obvious in terms of your symptoms, but it's more dangerous. Severe internal bleeding can cause death within hours if it isn't treated right away.
