Static blood

Also dead blood. Blood affected by stasis, i.e., blood that does not move freely, stagnates in the vessels, or accumulates outside the vessels. Static blood is considered as pathological product of the body. Static blood and the morbid changes to which it gives rise are identified by localized pain, stasis macules, and masses; these changes indicate the presence of concretions and gatherings. When blood vessels are blocked by static blood and can no longer withstand the pressure, bleeding may occur. This is most commonly seen in gynecological diseases. Generalized signs of blood stasis include a dull complexion, blue-green or purple lips and tongue, and stasis macules on the edge of the tongue. The pulse is fine or rough. See blood stasis.
