What is the cause of black menstrual blood with blood clots?

Black blood with blood clots is a sign of irregular menstruation. Black blood clots in menstrual blood are often related to the amount of menstrual bleeding. When the bleeding is heavy, it will not be able to rush out in time, so it will coagulate into a blood clot and be discharged. Blood clots may often be caused by the heavy bleeding at this time, so they form a clot. When menstrual blood comes out, the endometrium will fall off, but it may be some fragments. The blood clots should still come from the blood vessels that supply the endometrium. In other words, the discharge of blood clots during menstruation indicates excessive menstrual flow. There are black blood clots in menstruation, which vary in size and are often accompanied by bright red menstrual blood. Possible causes include:

1. Caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction: mainly due to unstable or defective function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, that is, menstrual disorder.

2. Caused by organic diseases or drugs, including local inflammation, tumors and developmental abnormalities, malnutrition of reproductive organs; intracranial diseases; other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction, diabetes, Sheehan's disease, liver diseases, blood diseases, etc.
