Under normal circumstances, mango does not have hemostatic effects. Specific details are as follows:
Mango is the fruit of the plant Mangifera indica from the Anacardiaceae family. It is a food that also has medicinal properties and is known to promote the production of body fluids, quench thirst, benefit the stomach, relieve vomiting, promote urination, alleviate dizziness, and relieve coughing. It can be used to treat conditions such as oral ulcers, multiple warts, acute hepatitis, scurvy, beriberi, constipation, and difficult urination. However, it generally does not possess hemostatic properties. If patients wish to consume fruits with hemostatic effects, lemon is recommended. Lemons are rich in citric acid, which helps strengthen and constrict blood vessels, reduce vascular permeability, and enhance blood coagulation function, thereby shortening clotting time and providing some hemostatic effect.
Patients experiencing prolonged bleeding should seek timely medical attention. The hemostatic effect of food is limited and should not replace formal medical treatment. Prolonged bleeding may lead to anemia and negatively impact overall health.
