A medical term referring to a flow or discharge of blood; persistent or excessive bleeding.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'rhea' (flow, discharge). The '-rhea' suffix appears in many medical terms describing abnormal flows or discharges.
The suffix '-rhea' is found in dozens of medical terms like 'diarrhea' and 'dysmenorrhea'—it's doctor-speak for 'unwanted flow of something,' and hemorrhea means that something is blood!
