What should I do if my period is filled with blood clots?

A woman's period can be said to be very troublesome. It not only affects her normal life and work, but also affects her diet, because she needs to avoid eating during menstruation, especially raw and cold food. In addition, she cannot touch cold water. Even if some women pay special attention, there will still be some abnormal menstruation phenomena. So, what is going on if there are blood clots in the blood during menstruation?

There are many manifestations of menstrual irregularities caused by endocrine disorders. 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 caused by blood stasis, timely treatment 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.

Women who have blood clots during their menstruation are believed by traditional Chinese medicine to be suffering from blood stasis, and often have symptoms of qi stagnation and blood stasis, such as rough, dull facial skin and acne. Some patients experience facial pigmentation, which directly affects their facial beauty. In this case, Chinese medicine can generally be used for treatment. According to the symptoms and signs, the methods of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating qi and unblocking collaterals can have better effects. Herbs such as safflower, peach kernel, mint, kuncao, zelan, and red peony root have good effects on improving symptoms and signs. However, this should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

Those with clogged periods should pay attention to menstrual protection, keep warm in winter to prevent catching cold, avoid eating raw or cold food, avoid overwork, maintain a happy mood, and combine work and rest. For those with facial pigmentation, they can be cured by treating the disease externally and internally and regulating menstruation.

If the menstrual blood is dark red with blood clots, it is a sign of "blood stasis and qi stagnation" and can be treated with ingredients such as Chuanxiong, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and Safflower. If the menstrual blood is less in quantity and lighter in color, it is a sign of "blood deficiency and body weakness" and you should use angelica, astragalus, rehmannia, longan, ginseng, etc. to nourish the body. If you have cold hands and feet, you can improve your condition by eating a warming diet with cinnamon twigs, fennel and mugwort leaves. You should drink high-protein and low-fat drinks, take more vitamins C and E to promote smooth blood circulation in the pelvis and reduce pain caused by congestion. You should also take calcium and magnesium to relax your muscles.

Foods that should not be eaten - During the 3 days before the menstrual 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.
