What is the cause of excessive menstrual flow?

Some girls experience a lot of vaginal bleeding during menstruation. Compared with normal circumstances, the body loses more blood at this time, which is difficult to recover and there is also the possibility of bacterial infection. Girls are always worried when facing this situation, fearing that they have serious illnesses, so they need to go to the hospital's gynecology department for examination in time. In fact, most of these situations are normal and there is no need to worry too much. So, what are the reasons for excessive menstrual flow?

1. Preventive health care for heavy menstrual flow

1. To regulate emotions, you need to keep a good mood and avoid worry, depression and anger, which can damage the liver and spleen, or excessive emotions, which can turn the five emotions into fire and disturb the Chong and Ren meridians, causing menstrual diseases.

2. Adjust the temperature according to the changes in climate and environment, and add or reduce clothes and quilts appropriately. Avoid keeping the room too cold or too cold to avoid attracting external evil, damaging blood and qi, and causing menstrual diseases.

3. Proper work and rest. You should actively engage in labor (physical and mental labor), but avoid overwork and strenuous exercise. Excessive work can easily damage your temper, which can lead to menstrual diseases caused by dysfunction of control or biochemical deficiencies. Pay attention to your diet, which should be regular and quantitative.

4. Birth control and sexual abstinence should focus on birth control and sexual abstinence to prevent diseases, avoid excessive and frequent births (including abortions) and sexual intercourse during menstruation and after childbirth, otherwise it will damage the Chong and Ren meridians, essence and blood, and kidney Qi, leading to menstrual diseases. More attention should be paid to the above items in normal times, and more attention should be paid during menstruation and after childbirth, which can reduce or prevent the occurrence of this disease.

5. Avoid overeating or excessive consumption of fatty, greasy, raw, cold, spicy, and dry foods to avoid damaging the spleen and stomach and causing biochemical deficiencies, or accumulation of moisture to produce phlegm, or cooling or burning blood to cause menstrual disorders.

2. Excessive menstruation with blood clots

Women who have blood clots during menstruation are considered in traditional Chinese medicine to have an external manifestation of qi stagnation and blood stasis. Such patients often have a dull and lusterless complexion, rough skin, and acne. If it is determined that the menstrual disorders are caused by functional reasons, it is best to use Chinese medicine to regulate them. According to the symptoms and the patient's personal constitution and physical characteristics, the methods of regulating qi and unblocking meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis have better effects. Herbs such as safflower, peach kernel, mint, kuncao, zedoaria, and red peony root have good effects on improving symptoms and signs. However, this should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

Those with clogged periods should pay attention to menstrual protection, keep warm in winter to prevent catching cold, avoid eating raw or cold food, avoid overwork, maintain a happy mood, and combine work and rest.

It is best to eat more high-protein, low-fat foods and take more vitamins. The presence of blood clots during menstruation and abdominal pain before menstruation indicate that the body is cold, qi is stagnant, and blood is stagnant. Treatment requires removing blood stasis, dispersing cold and relieving pain. Wu Ji Bai Feng Wan replenishes Qi and blood, regulates menstruation and stops leucorrhea. It is used for deficiency of qi and blood, irregular menstruation, soreness of waist and legs, and excessive leucorrhea. Vitamin C can promote smooth blood circulation in the pelvis. Do not eat raw, cold, or greasy food. Also avoid eating cold foods such as watermelon, grapes, and pears to prevent affecting the contraction of blood vessels.
