Menstruation is something that every woman must experience every month, so it is also called the female physiological cycle.

Today we will talk about whether it is normal to always have blood clots during menstruation?

However, many women do not know much about menstruation. Some women will find that they have blood clots during menstruation. They don’t know whether this is normal or whether they need to go to the hospital for treatment. Below, experts will introduce it.

Menstruation is a unique physiological phenomenon that occurs every month in women. If the menstruation is normal, the female body is mostly healthy. However, if the female menstruation is accompanied by abnormal conditions, it is necessary to be vigilant and seek timely treatment. So, is it normal to have blood clots during menstruation?

Is it normal to have blood clots during menstruation?

Gynecologists say that the reason for blood clots during menstruation may be that the qi and blood in the whole body are not strong and the downward flow is not smooth, which causes the menstrual volume to be relatively small. If the color is darker or there are clots, it means that the coldness in the body is too strong. In this case, you should pay attention to keeping warm in your daily clothing, and avoid following fashion trends and wearing too little. Secondly, we use air conditioning too much in the summer, eat too many cold drinks, and consume too much cold food in the autumn, such as crabs, persimmons, etc. It is best to see a Chinese medicine doctor, listen to the advice of an old Chinese medicine doctor, prescribe some medicine to regulate the body, nourish the body, and eat some mild nourishing food: such as red beans, red dates and osmanthus garden stew, etc.

The presence of blood clots in menstrual blood may also be related to the amount of bleeding and the speed of bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy and there is not enough time to discharge it, it will coagulate into a blood clot and be discharged. Often, the presence of blood clots may be due to the heavy bleeding at this time, which forms a clot. When menstrual blood comes out, the endometrium will fall off, but it may be some fragments, and the blood clots should still come from the blood vessels that supply the endometrium. In other words, the discharge of blood clots during menstruation indicates excessive menstrual flow.

Of course, if there is excessive menstrual bleeding occasionally, you should pay attention to whether it is irregular menstruation or miscarriage. If you often have excessive menstrual bleeding, you should suspect whether you have uterine fibroids or endometriosis (adenomyosis). Possible lesions such as endometrial polyps, or uterine enlargement, or even blood problems, or taking anticoagulants.

In short, excessive menstrual bleeding can lead to anemia, so it is best to ask a doctor for a detailed check-up as soon as possible. Generally, the menstrual blood discharged during menstruation is black blood without clots. Blood clots are a bit like blood, of varying sizes, and are often accompanied by brighter red menstrual blood. But if a large clot flows out, it is commonly known as "hemorrhage", and you should go to the emergency room immediately. Of course, there may be some mucous membrane-like white fragments mixed in the menstrual blood occasionally. These may be the peeling endometrium, which is normal. However, if there are too many fragments, factors such as miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy should be considered.

I believe that through our introduction above, everyone should have a basic understanding of the problem of blood clots during menstruation. In short, if female friends find blood clots during menstruation, please pay attention to it, because it may be a precursor to certain gynecological diseases. The best way is to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive gynecological examination, so as to thoroughly find the cause of the disease and treat it.
