What does the suffix -rrhage mean?

The suffix "-rrhage" means "excessive flow or discharge".

It usually refers to the flow of blood, but it can also be used for other fluids like mucus or pus.

Here are some examples:

* Hemorrhage: Excessive bleeding.

* Menorrhagia: Excessive menstrual bleeding.

* Rhinorrhagia: Excessive nasal bleeding.

* Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea: Leakage of cerebrospinal fluid from the nose.

The suffix "-rrhea" is closely related to "-rrhage" and means "flow or discharge", but it generally doesn't have the implication of being excessive.
