The appearance of blood clots during menstruation indicates heavy menstrual bleeding or blood accumulation in the uterine cavity, which causes blood clots during menstruation. If it comes out quickly and more, you can choose to take motherwort paste or lower abdominal blood stasis granules to promote excretion. If there is only a small amount of blood clot, you can also directly boil ginger slices and wash brown sugar to drink, which has the effect of warming the middle and dispersing cold, replenishing blood, invigorating qi, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, drink more hot water, and try to reduce raw and cold foods. In fact, you can also choose to soak your feet in mugwort leaves, which has the effect of relaxing the meridians.

Frequent anger, bad temper, eating spicy and irritating food, or cold uterus can all cause this phenomenon. You can take Xuefu Zhuyu Pills or Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills for 2 to 3 weeks of recuperation and treatment before menstruation. In addition, drink more brown sugar water, add some Xinjiang dates, and drink more water. Don't eat cold foods during menstruation, such as melon and ice cream.

If the menstrual blood is not discharged immediately, it will accumulate in the uterine cavity, and gradually the blood will coagulate and form blood clots. Coupled with the ruptured and fallen uterine wall, it will cause blood clots and rotten flesh-like substances in the menstrual period. It is generally considered a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. You should pay attention to the environmental hygiene during menstruation and avoid having sex during menstruation. Before the onset of menstruation, do not catch cold, especially the lower abdomen, do not eat ice cream, soft-serve ice cream, fried ice and other slightly cold foods, and do moderate exercise to allow the menstruation to be discharged smoothly.

Normal menstruation does not have blood clots or rotten flesh. If rotten flesh and blood clots appear, it cannot be ruled out that it is due to qi deficiency and blood stasis. In addition, if the woman is very old, it cannot be ruled out that the pregnancy is caused by uterine fibroids or endometrial hyperplasia. You can seek diagnosis from Chinese medicine. If it is qi deficiency and blood stasis, take blood-activating and stasis-removing medicines such as motherwort paste as prescribed by the doctor. If it does not work, you need to seek further abdominal color ultrasound examination from Western medicine. If it is caused by uterine fibroids, surgical treatment should be considered first in serious cases.
