Explanation:
I would really need the context, but 'Durchfluss' means blood coming through, say, a blood vessel, which could be obstructed or not. "Blutfluss" is also used in old texts (e.g. bible) for menstruation. In a modern context, it could just mean some flow of blood (e.g. nosebleed) you might want to stop.
