How are menstrual blood clots formed?

All adult female friends will have menstruation at a certain time every month, but many female friends find blood clots in their menstrual blood during their menstrual period. Most female friends do not know what causes this situation when they experience it. So, how do menstrual blood clots form?

First, how are menstrual blood clots formed? Menstruation is caused by the shedding of the endometrium. The shedding endometrium and blood mix together 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 menstrual flow is heavy and there are many blood clots during menstruation, it is blood stasis. When you have heavy menstruation, you can consider taking Chinese patent medicine to stop the bleeding. However, after the bleeding stops, you can go to the local hospital for a detailed examination in time, mainly to rule out other causes.

Second, 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 be due to the heavy amount of bleeding at this time, which forms 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. In addition, normal menstruation lasts for 2 to 7 days, and in some cases it lasts for 3 to 5 days. If the menstrual period lasts more than 7 days, it is considered as prolonged menstruation, which is an abnormal phenomenon and should be taken seriously. Prolonged menstruation and heavy menstrual blood clots may be caused by low estrogen levels, uterine fibroids, polyps, endometritis and intrauterine contraceptive devices. Therefore, you need to go to the hospital's gynecology department for examination and diagnosis so that you can receive symptomatic treatment.

How are menstrual blood clots formed? 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. Cold stagnation: "When the air is warm, the blood becomes slippery, and when the air is cold, the blood becomes coagulated", "When the blood is affected by cold, it coagulates 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. Qi deficiency: excessive fatigue, or long-term illness that depletes vital energy, Qi deficiency makes it unable to circulate blood, and blood circulation is sluggish, so menstruation forms blood clots. Heat in the blood: Exogenous heat evil, or overeating spicy and hot food, or taking too much medicine for warming 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 forms clots during menstruation.
