Menstruation suddenly becomes heavy with blood clots

1. Some people say that menorrhagia refers to a menstrual disorder in which the menstrual cycle is basically normal but the menstrual flow is significantly increased, also known as "excessive menstrual flow". The causes of menorrhagia are due to physical weakness, insufficient vital energy, overeating, fatigue, and long-term illness that damages the spleen, resulting in spleen deficiency, weak vital energy, and loss of qi, water, and blood. The body is naturally yang-dominant, the seven emotions are excessive, the five desires transform into fire, excessive consumption of spicy food, external heat evil, the hidden heat takes over, and the blood is forced to flow vigorously. It is caused by factors such as excessive strain during menstruation, long-term blood stasis, postpartum blood stasis, and inability of new blood to return to the menstruation.

2. Some people say that menorrhagia means that the menstrual cycle is basically normal, while menstrual fat with blood clots is regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, which 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.

Abnormal bleeding volume may be caused by dietary rules or functional disorders, factors of organic diseases. There are many systemic diseases such as blood diseases, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and endocrine abnormalities that can cause menstrual disorders. Menstruation is caused by the shedding of the endometrium. When the shedding endometrium and blood mix together, it becomes menstrual blood. If large pieces of endometrium fall off, large blood clots will appear, which is a normal phenomenon. But if the menstrual flow is heavy and there are large blood clots, then it is blood stasis.
