Italian word
emorragia
haemorrhage, heavy bleeding
Looks like
haemorrhage
same
⚠️ The trap
Same meaning, from Greek 'haima' (blood). The trap: 'emorroidi' = haemorrhoids (piles) — visually similar to 'emorragia' but a very different condition. Don't confuse the two in medical conversations.
To say "same" in Italian:
emorragia (correct)
"emorragia" in English means:
haemorrhage, heavy bleeding
Example
"L'emorragia interna è stata fermata con un intervento chirurgico."
"The internal haemorrhage was stopped with surgery."
