Menstrual cramps and blood clots, the reason is actually like this

Some women experience obvious dysmenorrhea symptoms and blood clots during menstruation. This is an abnormal menstrual phenomenon and the causes are very complicated. It may be caused by uterine fibroids or it may be caused by heavy coldness in the body. Therefore, women need to find the root cause through examination.

1. If you catch a cold during menstruation, blood clots will appear. Long-term blood clots may be caused by uterine fibroids. Young women generally have less of this problem. Patients can drink more hot red sugar water and avoid cold water, and the blood clots will gradually disappear. Under normal circumstances, menstrual blood is bright red. Once blood clots appear, dysmenorrhea often occurs, making the patient nervous and emotionally unstable.

2. In traditional Chinese medicine, blood clots during menstruation are related to blood stasis, and symptoms of qi stagnation and blood stasis often occur, mainly rough and dull facial skin and acne. Some women may also experience pigmentation on their faces, which affects their appearance. It can be treated with Chinese medicine, and the methods of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating qi and unblocking collaterals can be used according to the symptoms. Commonly used Chinese medicines include safflower, peach kernel, mint, kuncao, zelan, red peony root, etc., but they must be used under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Women who suffer from dysmenorrhea and blood clots must pay attention to menstrual protection. They should keep warm in winter, avoid catching cold, avoid eating raw or cold food, avoid overwork, keep a happy mood, and combine work and rest. Women with facial pigmentation can take external and internal treatment methods to regulate menstruation.

4. Dark red menstrual blood with blood clots is mostly a sign of "blood stasis and qi stagnation", which can be treated with Chuanxiong, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and Safflower. If there is less blood and the color of the blood is light, it means "blood deficiency and body weakness", which can be replenished with angelica, astragalus, rehmannia, longan and ginseng. Cold hands and feet are a sign of "deficiency-cold" and require warming and conditioning with herbs such as cinnamon twigs, fennel, and mugwort. Supplement calcium and magnesium and relax muscles. From 3 days before the menstrual period until the end, the diet should be mainly warm. Eat less grilled, fried, spicy and pickled foods.
