The sanguaza is a type of bleeding that is infected, corrupted or broken; it applies to animals, food or people, but also to fruits and vegetables. It is used mainly in the world of medicine or in chemical studies, although also colloquially as a synonym for other types of bleeding and even figuratively to relate that something is extremely violent.
The Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy defines "sanguaza" (which it incorporated in 1739) as corrupted blood, while the second meaning indicates that it is a blood-colored liquid, watery that emanates from some fruits or vegetables.

So, continuing with the first definition, “sanguaza” is any blood, whether animal or human, that becomes contaminated or loses properties due to a disease or syndrome. In this case, it is a rather medical term that is little used in everyday speech.
Regarding the second meaning, it is possible to add that this fluid is also present in the transport of dead animals, such as fish. The liquid that is mixed with water and some solid components is called "sanguaza".
On the other hand, in a colloquial way in some countries of America the odorous and putrid liquid that comes off from residues or from refrigerated foods that are close to rotting is so called. That color can be red, green or black.
Finally, "sanguaza" is also called female menstruation. In this case, its use is given in vulgar or colloquial speech.
