How to treat blood clots during menstruation

Menstruation is something that every female friend will experience, but some female friends find that there are blood clots in their menstruation and worry that the abnormal menstruation is due to illness in the body. The presence of blood clots during menstruation is related to endocrine disorders, which may be caused by cold body or certain diseases. If blood clots continue to appear during menstruation, it is recommended to seek medical attention for examination in time.

What causes blood clots during menstruation?

Menstrual blood clots are caused by endocrine disorders. Irregular menstruation has many manifestations. Menstrual blood clots are a common symptom. Excessive menstrual blood clots are usually caused by the shedding of the endometrium, but if the menstrual flow is heavy and the blood clots are blood stasis, timely conditioning is required. In severe cases, you should go to the hospital to check whether there are other causes of the disease.

If you catch a cold during menstruation, blood clots will appear. If blood clots exist for a long time, it may be possible that you have uterine fibroids. Young people generally do not have this. If you are worried, you can go for a check-up. Give her more hot brown sugar water and keep her from touching it with cold water, and she will get better. Under normal circumstances, menstruation is bright red, without purple or dark blood clots. Once menstruation with blood clots occurs, it is often accompanied by dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea often causes patients to become mentally tense and emotionally unstable.

What causes excessive menstrual blood clots?

1. Weak Qi and blood lead to poor downward movement

The body's Qi and blood are not vigorous and their downward flow is not smooth, which causes blood clots during menstruation and also causes less menstrual flow. If the menstrual blood is dark in color or contains clots, it means that the coldness in the body is too strong. When this happens, you should pay attention to keeping warm in your daily clothing and not wear too little just to keep up with the fashion. Secondly, it may also be due to drinking too many cold drinks, eating too much cold food, and using too much air conditioning in the summer, and consuming too much cold food in the autumn, such as crabs, persimmons, etc.

2. Uterine diseases

If you occasionally have excessive menstrual bleeding, you should pay attention to whether it is irregular menstruation or miscarriage. If you often have excessive menstrual bleeding, you should suspect whether you have possible lesions such as uterine fibroids, endometrioma (adenomyosis), endometrial polyps or uterine enlargement, or even blood problems, such as whether you have taken anticoagulants.

3. Excessive menstrual flow

The presence of blood clots in menstrual blood may be related to the amount of bleeding and the rate of bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy and there is no time to rush out, it will coagulate into a blood clot and be discharged. When menstrual blood comes out, the endometrium will fall off, and there may also be some fragments. The blood clots are blood from the blood vessels that should supply the endometrium. Generally speaking, if blood clots are discharged during menstruation, it means that the menstrual flow is too heavy.

How to regulate blood clots during menstruation

1. Chinese medicine for conditioning

If there are blood clots during menstruation, Chinese medicine can generally be used for treatment according to the actual situation. The methods of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating qi and unblocking collaterals have better results. For example, red peony root, safflower, mint, peach kernel, kuncao, and zelan have good effects on improving symptoms and signs. However, this should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, those who have clogged periods should pay attention to menstrual protection, keep warm, and maintain a happy mood.

If your menstrual blood is dark red with blood clots, then you have a constitution of "blood stasis and qi stagnation", and you can use ingredients such as Chuanxiong, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and Safflower; if your menstrual blood is light in color and less in quantity, then you have a constitution of blood deficiency and body weakness, and you should use Angelica sinensis, Astragalus membranaceus, Rehmannia glutinosa, longan, ginseng, etc. to nourish your body; if you have a "deficient and cold" constitution with cold hands and feet, then you can use cinnamon twig, fennel, and mugwort to warm your body.

3. Diet adjustment

At this time, you can drink high-protein, low-fat foods and take in more vitamins C and E. This can promote smooth blood circulation in the pelvis, reduce pain caused by congestion, and supplement with rich calcium and magnesium to relax the muscles.

4. Avoid certain foods a few days before your period

During the first 3 days of menstruation until the end of the period, the food should be warm. Eat less grilled, fried, spicy or pickled foods, and avoid watermelon, pear, coconut and grapefruit to avoid affecting blood vessel constriction. Carve cabbage, bitter gourd and white radish and then heat them before eating.
