The tendency to bleed is a condition characterized by an increased propensity for bleeding, not just externally from visible wounds but also internally, which can manifest as easy bruising or excessive bleeding from minor cuts. This condition highlights an abnormality in the body's ability to regulate blood clotting, leading to symptoms that range from superficial bruising to significant internal bleeding, underscoring the need for careful diagnosis and management to prevent serious complications.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perceives the tendency to bleed through a lens vastly different from Western medicine, focusing on the balance and flow of Qi (energy) and Blood within the body. According to TCM, a propensity to bleed signals an underlying disharmony or weakness in the body's energetic system, particularly involving the Spleen and Liver, which are crucial in the production and management of Blood and Qi. Identifying and treating the root cause of this imbalance is essential in TCM, offering a path to restore the body's natural harmony and mitigate the tendency to bleed.
