Blemorrhœa

Blemorrhœa (blenna, 'mucus,' rheō, 'I flow') is a medical term for an unusually copious discharge from any mucous membrane; but as it has been rather vaguely and inconsistently employed, most modern writers do not often make use of it. It has been used chiefly of discharges from the genito-urinary mucous membrane (see GONORRHEA), from the conjunctiva, and the lachrymal sac (see EYE, DISEASES OF).
