What causes a lot of blood clots during menstruation?

We all know that the female body structure is very complex and there is a physiological cycle every month. However, through the physiological cycle we can also see some women's health problems. Many women often have symptoms such as blood clots during menstruation. Such symptoms must be taken seriously by us, and timely adjustments must be made for the sake of physical health. Let's understand what is going on with large amounts of blood clots during menstruation.

What causes a lot of blood clots during menstruation?

Menstrual blood does not coagulate. Some small blood clots are fragments of the endometrium. If there is no discomfort, no treatment is required. If you have symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, you should get treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine generally believes that blood clots during menstruation are blood stasis. Taohong Siwu Decoction is a prescription that can be used. This is a general prescription, which can be added or subtracted according to the symptoms of cold or heat. Traditional Chinese medicine has definite efficacy and is recommended for reference.

Menstruation is regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis and undergoes cyclical changes. The shed endometrium mixes with the blood to form menstrual blood. If there is a large amount of endometrial shedding, that is, blood clots, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the endometrium is infected, there will be increased bleeding, abdominal pain, etc., and you will need to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, a clear diagnosis, and symptomatic treatment.

TCM syndrome differentiation can be divided into deficiency syndrome and excess syndrome. The vast majority are caused by deficiency syndrome, which is often manifested by irregular menstruation, blood clots, scanty menstruation, cold hands and feet, hot flashes and sweating, etc. These are all typical cases of Qi and blood deficiency, cold stagnation and Qi stagnation. The usual symptoms are sallow or pale complexion, fear of cold and cold limbs during menstruation, preference for warmth and pressure, indigestion, etc.

Normal menstruation does not have blood clots. If there are a lot of blood clots, it is necessary to consider whether it is caused by gynecological inflammation, endocrine disorders, etc.

Menstruation is the manifestation of periodic shedding and bleeding of the endometrium. The periodic changes of the endometrium are caused by the periodic changes of the ovaries. The menstrual cycle is regulated by a complex neuroendocrine system, which is completed by the central nervous system, pituitary gland, ovaries and uterus. Any problem in any link will affect menstruation. For example, emotional tension, environmental changes, diet and drugs will cause changes in the menstrual cycle and menstrual volume.

It may be caused by irregular menstruation. It is recommended to take Wu Ji Bai Feng Pills and Yi Mu Cao Gao for conditioning. Do not abuse drugs during menstruation. Pay attention to keeping warm, avoid cold stimulation, prevent the invasion of cold evil, pay attention to rest, reduce fatigue, strengthen nutrition, try to control drastic emotional fluctuations, and avoid strong mental stimulation. During menstruation, you should pay attention to diet and avoid eating raw and cold food before and during menstruation to avoid cold blood stasis and aggravation of dysmenorrhea.

A sudden increase in menstrual flow is as abnormal as a decrease in menstrual flow, and often means that there is some health problem. First of all, we need to understand one question, that is, how much menstrual bleeding is considered heavy? Normal menstrual bleeding should be 20 to 60 ml, and more than 80 ml is considered heavy menstrual bleeding. Based on the rough estimate of sanitary napkin usage, the normal usage is to change it four or five times a day on average, with no more than two packs (10 pieces per pack) per cycle. If 3 packs of sanitary napkins are not enough and almost every sanitary napkin is soaked, it means that the menstrual flow is too heavy. The causes of excessive menstruation vary for women of different ages and physiological stages. Now let’s continue to learn about the issue of sudden increase in menstrual flow in women.

Heavy menstrual flow and blood clots may be caused by various inflammations. Inflammation makes local blood vessels fragile, and bleeding during menstruation is not easy to stop, which often causes increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation. If you have been in poor overall health recently, with heavy vaginal bleeding accompanied by lower abdominal or lower back pain, increased vaginal discharge, abnormal color or odor, fever, frequent and painful urination, you should consider a reproductive organ infection. However, heavy menstrual flow with blood clots may not be caused by inflammation. Generally speaking, menstruation is a mixture of shed endometrium and blood, which makes up menstrual blood. The appearance of blood clots during menstruation is due to the shedding of large amounts of endometrium, which forms blood clots. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the endometrium is infected, there will be increased bleeding, abdominal pain, etc.

The above is an introduction to what causes large amounts of blood clots during menstruation. After understanding this, we know that there are many reasons for this phenomenon. Female friends must maintain good living habits in their daily lives, pay attention to regular work and rest time, and don’t always have too much pressure. In addition, pay attention to keeping your body warm and observe your leucorrhea more often. If there is any abnormal leucorrhea, it means that some gynecological diseases have occurred. In this case, you should consult a doctor in time for conditioning.
