How it's used

Beyond describing general injuries, this term is the standard way to refer to the bloody show that signals the onset of labor. It carries a slightly more clinical or serious tone when used in a medical context compared to simply saying 流血. It is rarely used for minor cuts that do not require attention, as it implies a visible or significant amount of blood.

Common phrases

to fall and start bleeding

waai4懷jan6孕gin3見hung4紅

to have a bloody show during pregnancy

Common mistake

Do not use this to describe a simple nosebleed or a small paper cut, as it sounds overly dramatic or specific to medical emergencies and childbirth. For everyday minor bleeding, use 流血 instead.
