Chapter 79 His blood can save lives
"What does heavy bleeding mean?" Si Ye's voice came through the door curtain.
He had witnessed female childbirth elsewhere. Some tribes, due to their fertility worship, would even allow women to give birth in public, so he was not unfamiliar with this process.
Likewise, he knew that females bleed a lot during childbirth, so at first he didn't pay much attention to the bloody smell coming from the cave.
But when it was almost dawn, the smell of blood coming from the cave was particularly strong. If he had not been guarding outside and knew that only the girl and Aunt Meng were inside during this period, he would have thought that something dangerous had happened.
He was a little worried, so he went over to ask, and to his surprise, there really was something wrong.
But...what exactly is this "postpartum hemorrhage"?
"It's just... I don't know the reason yet, but what I know is that if the bleeding is not stopped now, Aunt Meng may be in danger of death due to excessive blood loss..." Xia Tian explained the situation while trying to press the woman's lower abdomen.
There are many reasons for women to suffer from heavy postpartum bleeding. Some are due to insufficient uterine contraction, some are due to coagulation disorders of the mother herself, and some are due to injury to large blood vessels during delivery. The situation is very complicated.
Pressing the lower abdomen can help the uterus contract, but it can only help recover from heavy bleeding caused by weak uterine contraction.
In Aunt Meng's case, Xia Tian wasn't sure what the cause of the bleeding was. There wasn't any effective medicine available, so she could only try to stimulate uterine contractions to see if she could stop the bleeding herself.
"You mean, we need to stop the bleeding now?" Si Ye's voice was calm, and he was not infected by the girl's anxious mood.
Xia Tian didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement with the man's words.
It was quiet outside the cave for a while. Xia Tian's hands did not stop moving, but the blood flow under the woman showed no signs of stopping.
Seeing that Aunt Meng's face had turned a deathly gray, Si Ye suddenly came in holding a shell bowl.
After coming in, he lowered his head and turned sideways, facing the situation on the bed very gentlemanly.
Xia Tian turned around and saw... a bowl of blood in it?
She didn't understand the man's behavior. "What is this?"
Si Ye's face was expressionless, half hidden in shadow. The morning light cast a halo on his profile. His voice echoed in the cave, "This is my blood. If you trust me, give it to her. It can save her life."
Xia Tian was a little frightened, "What did you say... No, was this what you just put there?!"
Si Ye nodded calmly, "Yes, don't worry, it's very fresh."
Very fresh?
That's not the problem...
After the shock, Xia Tian calmed down again.
Si Ye had told her a long time ago that he was different from those ordinary orcs, and that he was mutated into this state after being fed some kind of drug.
She also saw how the other person recovered from a near-death state to normal in less than a month.
If someone said that Si Ye's body structure was different from others, Xia Tian would believe it.
But if it was so special that bloodletting could save lives... she had her doubts.
Anyone who has received modern medical education knows that there are many diseases in the world that are transmitted through blood. Drinking blood directly is too dangerous, and even it is difficult to absorb it to supplement protein.
"Do you want to drink it straight away?" Xia Tian tried to find a compromise. "Can you heat it up?"
Si Ye shook his head. "No, I don't think she's in good condition. You'd better hurry."
