Causes of heavy menstrual flow and blood clots

Many female friends always encounter various problems during each menstrual cycle. One of the problems is heavy menstrual flow and blood clots. This is also a very distressing thing for female friends. Many women go to the hospital for examination and take medicine for this problem. So, while receiving treatment, do you know why the menstrual flow is heavy and there are blood clots?

Heavy menstrual flow is a symptom of irregular menstruation. There are many causes of irregular menstruation, such as gynecological inflammation, endocrine disorders, ovarian diseases, etc. However, many people will experience blood clots when their menstrual flow is heavy, and many people feel that it is incomprehensible, causing psychological pressure.

So what happens when there is heavy menstrual flow and blood clots? Gynecologists explained that it is mainly caused by long-term blood stasis, postpartum blood stasis, and the inability of new blood to return to the menstruation. What is the reason for excessive menstrual flow and a lot of blood clots? Some people say that menorrhagia refers to a menstrual disorder in which the menstrual cycle is basically normal but the menstrual flow is significantly increased, also known as "excessive menstrual flow." Hemujia experts pointed out that the cause of menorrhagia is due to weak constitution, insufficient vital energy, overeating and fatigue, and long-term illness that damages the spleen, resulting in spleen deficiency, weak vital energy, and loss of qi, water and blood. The body is naturally yang-dominant, the seven emotions are excessive, the five desires transform into fire, excessive spicy food is consumed, and external heat evil is contracted, causing hidden heat to take over and force blood to flow abundantly. It is caused by factors such as excessive strain during menstruation, long-term blood stasis, postpartum blood stasis, and inability of new blood to return to the menstruation. Experts point out that the presence of blood clots during menstruation is regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis and undergoes cyclical changes. The shed endometrium mixes with the blood to form menstrual blood. If there is a large amount of endometrial shedding, that is, blood clots, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the endometrium is infected, there will be increased bleeding, abdominal pain, etc.

Experts remind female friends that if they find that their menstruation is irregular, they must go to a regular hospital for examination. Irregular menstruation is an early symptom of the disease, and early diagnosis and treatment are required.

After understanding why there is heavy menstrual flow and blood clots during the menstrual period, I believe it will solve many doubts for many women. However, I would also like to advise all female friends not to make a fuss about it. After understanding the reasons, you can then receive targeted treatment. In addition, you just need to pay more attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold and dietary restrictions during the menstrual period.
