INTERNILY BLEEDING PROBLEM, PLEASE HELP

MY SISTER, FOR THE PAST 2 YRS, ABOUT EVERY 2 OR 3 WEEKS STARTS BLEEDING INTERNILY. THE DOCTORS CAN NEVER FIND WHERE IT IS BLEEDING FROM. EVERY TIME SHE GOES TO THE ER THEY GIVE HER AT LEAST 2 UNITS OF BLOOD AND THEY HAVE TRIED DOING THE RED TAG TEST BUT THEY CAN NEVER FIND IT. IS THERE A PLACE I CAN TAKE HER WHERE THE DOCTORS WILL FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HER ? I KNOW THIS CAN NOT BE GOOD FOR HER.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response

Yes, the site of bleeding has to be  determined and then the cause of bleeding should be diagnosed if it is a local problem or a bleeding disorder. Do check about the platelet count, clotting time, bleeding time, etc after consulting a General Physician.
