Like a double edged reaction.

1st part is to protect the area from further pain and the second as a primal emergency medical need like clutching a more major bleed in an attempt to stem the blleding (to stop what is inside from getting outside)

We want to protect ourselves from further damage and we want to limit the damage already done to us.
