From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is mostly considered to be caused by cold stagnation and blood stasis, or deficiency of both Qi and blood, or deficiency-cold, or qi stagnation and blood stasis. If it is cold stagnation and blood stasis, it is accompanied by aversion to cold, preference for warmth, dark menstrual blood with black blood clots, etc. If it is deficiency of both Qi and blood, it is accompanied by shortness of breath, fatigue, small amount of light menstrual blood, etc. If it is deficiency-cold, it is accompanied by aversion to cold, preference for warmth, cold hands and feet, etc. If it is qi stagnation and blood stasis, it is accompanied by breast pain, tenderness, tingling in the abdomen, or distension and pain, etc.

When menstrual blood is not discharged smoothly, especially when it accumulates in the cervical canal, it compresses the pelvic floor tissue and causes coccyx pain in the back.
