Definition
瘀 (yū) is a bound form (b.f.) used in medical contexts, primarily referring to blood stasis or stagnation. It cannot stand alone; it always appears in compounds such as 瘀血 (yūxuè, blood stasis) and 瘀青 (yūqīng, bruise). This term is common in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and clinical descriptions of poor circulation or bruising.
