An excessive or abnormal discharge of blood from any part of the body; bleeding or hemorrhage.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'rhea' (flow, discharge). This older medical term literally means 'blood flow' and was used to describe various bleeding conditions.
While 'hematorrhea' is an old-fashioned term, the '-rrhea' suffix lives on in modern medical terms like 'diarrhea,' 'menorrhea,' and 'logorrhea' (excessive talking)!
