What happens if my menstrual flow is heavy and there are blood clots?

What are the symptoms of heavy menstrual flow and blood clots? Generally speaking, women's menstrual cycle is 28 to 30 days. There are also a few people whose menstrual periods deviate slightly, but as long as there is a certain regularity, it is still a normal menstrual period. The normal menstrual volume is about 50ml, often fluctuating between 30ml and 60ml. The color of menstruation is dark red, and the blood is mixed with small fragments of shed endometrium, cervical mucosa, and vaginal epithelial cells.

Heavy menstrual flow means that the menstrual volume exceeds 60ml, reaching 60-80ml or even around 100ml a day.
