Why does my aunt have a lot of blood clots?

Adult women normally have their menstrual period once a month. Many women find that there are a lot of blood clots in their menstrual blood during their periods. Many women don’t know why there are blood clots during their periods, let alone what it feels like to have blood clots. So what is the reason for having so many blood clots during menstruation? What should we do?

What causes excessive menstrual blood clots?

Menstruation is caused by the shedding of the uterine wall. The shedding uterine wall mixes with blood to form menstruation. If a large amount of endometrium falls off and there are blood clots, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the menstrual flow is heavy and there are a lot of blood clots during menstruation, it is blood stasis. When you have heavy menstruation, you can first consider taking Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation. However, after the bleeding stops, you can go to the local hospital for a detailed examination in time to rule out other causes.

Menstrual blood contains blood clots, which is related to bleeding and bleeding rate. If the bleeding is heavy and cannot keep up, it will turn into a blood clot and be discharged. Usually, the presence of blood clots may mean that the bleeding is heavy at this time, so it will accumulate into a clot. After menstruation, the endometrium will fall off, but it may be some fragments. The blood clots should still be supplied by the blood vessels of the uterine wall. In other words, the discharge of blood clots during menstruation indicates excessive menstrual flow.

In addition, normal menstruation lasts for 2 to 7 days, and rarely for 3 to 5 days. If the menstrual period lasts for more than 7 days, it is considered abnormal and should be taken seriously. Prolonged menstruation and heavy menstrual blood clots may be caused by low estrogen levels, uterine fibroids, polyps, endometritis and contraceptive rings. Therefore, you need to go to the hospital's gynecology department for examination and diagnosis in order to use medication for treatment.
