There are gray-black blood clots during menstruation

If there are blood clots during menstruation, it is usually due to the shedding of the uterine wall, which can easily lead to blood clots. If there are small amounts of blood clots, it will not cause much harm. However, if there are blood clots for several consecutive menstrual periods and the amount of blood clots is large, it may be caused by blood stasis and should be treated in time. If the symptoms of blood clots during menstruation are serious, you need to go to the hospital to check whether there are other causes.

What is the reason for a small amount of menstrual flow, black blood clots, and blood clots? Blood clots will appear if you catch a cold during menstruation. If blood clots persist for a long time, there is a possibility of uterine fibroids. Menstrual blood clots rarely occur in young people. If there are blood clots during menstruation, you can go to the hospital for a physical examination to see what the cause is. Under normal circumstances, menstrual blood is white, without purple or dark blood clots. Once menstrual blood clots occur, it is often accompanied by menstrual pain. Menstrual pain usually causes patients to be nervous, anxious and mentally unstable.

For women whose menstrual flow is light, dark and has blood clots, Chinese medicine believes that it is mostly related to blood stasis. Generally, it is the main manifestation of qi stagnation and blood stasis, such as rough, dull and lusterless skin on the face, and acne. Some patients develop facial pigmentation, which immediately affects their appearance.
