What are menstrual blood clots?

In daily life, we often see young women wearing very little. This kind of clothing looks very sexy, but in fact it has great health risks. For example, women who often wear very little are prone to uterine cold. If the uterine cold is severe, it is easy to have symptoms of dysmenorrhea, and blood clots will often appear during menstruation. So, in addition to uterine cold, what are the other causes of blood clots during menstruation?

What are menstrual blood clots?

1. Normal phenomenon

Menstrual blood clots refer to menstrual blood mixed with many coagulated blood clots. During menstruation, a woman's endometrium is shed, and the shed endometrium mixes with blood to form menstrual blood. If a larger piece of endometrium is shed, blood clots will form, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. This is the body's metabolism. Old substances are excreted from the body and new substances are produced.

2. Cold uterus

If you have severe abdominal pain during menstruation, there are too many or large blood clots in your menstrual blood, or your menstrual blood is dark in color or very bright in color, it means that your uterus is cold, commonly known as "uterine cold". Uterine coldness may be related to physical constitution, and many women are born with a colder constitution. Uterine coldness may be caused by diet and lifestyle habits. Be sure to avoid catching cold during menstruation. If blood clots appear frequently, there is a possibility of uterine fibroids.

3. Menstrual disorders

Menstrual blood that is sometimes heavy or sometimes light, or that never stops flowing, and abdominal pain before or during menstruation are all manifestations of menstrual disorders. Menstrual disorder is a common gynecological disease. It can also appear as a symptom of a major illness. For example, blood diseases, endocrine diseases, miscarriage, reproductive tract infections or uterine fibroids can cause menstrual disorders. So even though it is a minor illness, it cannot be ignored.
