Usage Note

Sangrado as a medical term means bleeding or hemorrhage, the noun from sangrar. In typography and computing, sangrado is indentation — the space at the start of a paragraph. The two senses are entirely separate, so context always disambiguates. The medical sense uses sangrado abundante for heavy bleeding.

Examples

"El médico controló el sangrado de la herida."

Natural Translation

The doctor controlled the bleeding from the wound.
