There is no blood during menstruation, only sticky bloody substance

Women call their monthly menstrual period "Aunt Flo", which is also to avoid being embarrassed when talking. The arrival of menstruation is regular and varies from person to person, with the amount of menstrual flow also varying. It ends in approximately three to seven days. But some women say that there is no blood during their period, only sticky liquid with blood. What's going on? In this case, you need to consider the problem of gynecological inflammation and it is best to seek medical attention in time.

Is it normal for menstruation to be thick? Menstruation is a sign of female maturity and is a woman’s “good friend”. But “good friends” can also lose their temper sometimes, and thick menstrual blood is one of the manifestations. According to experts from Shanxi Modern Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, normal menstrual blood is dark red, mixed with endometrial fragments and mucus, and occasionally small blood clots.

Gynecologists at Shanxi Modern Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital said that if menstruation is not as shown above, it is possible that there is a menstrual disorder, and you should consider whether there is an inflammatory infection, such as vaginitis, cervicitis and other inflammatory infections. It is recommended that you do a gynecological examination three days after the menstruation ends to understand your current health condition. Factors that cause thick menstruation may be related to mental factors, mood swings, environmental changes, pregnancy, age, disease, medication, and nutritional status. It may also be caused by severe cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, submucosal uterine fibroids or fallopian tube cancer. Some intrauterine devices can also cause bloody secretions.

The menstrual blood is thick and contains a small amount of black blood clots, and the uterus occasionally hurts during intercourse. Normal menstrual blood is slightly dark red in color. Because it contains a large amount of necrotic uterine mucosa and inflammatory cells, it is relatively viscous and mixed with darker mucosa. Uterine fibroids, polyps, endometrial cancer, etc. can cause blood clots in menstrual blood. If you experience vaginal contact bleeding, discharge, frequent pain in the lower abdomen, etc., you must be cautious! Because these symptoms are likely caused by gynecological inflammation and are related to pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, endometritis, etc. Relevant inspections are needed to confirm this.

An ultrasound examination can be performed to determine the cause and then anti-inflammatory treatment can be given. You can start taking Huahong tablets, metronidazole, and cephalosporin antibiotics during your menstrual period. Take it for ten consecutive days each time.

If there is time, intravenous infusion will have a faster anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, thick menstrual flow with a small amount of black blood clots is a sign of blood stasis in the body. Uterine pain during sexual intercourse may be a sign of inflammation.
