There are a lot of blood clots on the second day of menstruation

Many female friends find a large amount of blood clots in their menstrual period the next day and worry that their menstruation is abnormal. It is actually common to see large amounts of blood clots during menstruation. If they continue to occur, it may be a sign that the body is catching a cold. If there are large amounts of blood clots during menstruation, you can first condition your body appropriately. If there is no relief, you should seek medical attention for examination.

Why do blood clots come out during menstruation?

1. Qi stagnation: Qi is the commander of blood. When Qi flows, blood flows. When Qi stagnates, blood coagulates. When emotions are stagnant, liver qi is stagnant, and qi flow is unfavorable, menstruation will be blocked and clots will form.

2. Cold stagnation: "When the temperature is warm, the blood will be slippery, and when the temperature is cold, the blood will coagulate." "When the blood is affected by cold, it will coagulate into lumps." Due to external cold evil, or internal injury caused by cold food, or inherent yang deficiency and internal cold, the cold evil will accumulate in the Chong and Ren meridians, and the blood will be coagulated by the cold and form lumps during menstruation.

3. Qi deficiency: excessive fatigue, or serious illness or long-term illness depletes the vital energy, and the qi is weak and unable to circulate blood, resulting in blood stasis and clots during menstruation.

4. Heat in the blood: due to external heat evil, or excessive consumption of spicy and hot food, or excessive use of medicines to warm the uterus, as well as internal injury due to emotions, the five emotions turn into heat, the heat is hidden in the Chong and Ren meridians, the blood is tormented by the heat evil, and the menstruation comes in lumps.

In addition, the presence of blood clots in menstrual blood is related to the amount of bleeding and the speed of bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy and there is not enough time, it will coagulate into a blood clot and be discharged. Often, the presence of blood clots may mean that the amount of bleeding is relatively large at this time, and it will form a clot. When menstrual blood comes out, the endometrium will fall off, but it may be some fragments, and 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.

Why are there so many blood clots on the second day of menstruation?

1. Shedding of the endometrium

The menstrual cycle is also the time when the endometrium is renewed and replaced. Normally, it will fall off. If a small amount of blood clots appear, it is not a big problem. However, if there are continuous blood clots and there are many of them, you should seek medical attention and treatment in time.

2. Catch a cold

Nowadays, young people don’t pay much attention to care during menstruation. They still drink cold drinks and eat ice cream during menstruation, which will cause blood clots. Too cold will cause blood coagulation in the uterus and form blood clots to be discharged.

3. Qi stagnation and blood stasis

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood clots are a manifestation of qi stagnation and blood stasis. If you have problems such as rough skin and acne, you can use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your body, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, regulate qi and dredge meridians, and the symptoms will be relieved a lot. It is especially effective for the problem of blood clots on the second day of menstruation.

The menstrual period is when women’s bodies are relatively weak, so you should pay extra attention to taking care of your body during this period.
