What causes clumpy menstruation?

Menstruation is the result of female hormone secretion and is also a physiological cycle. It usually first appears in females around puberty. As we all know, during menstruation, we should avoid eating raw, cold and spicy food. There are many things we need to pay attention to, because once these taboos are touched, various problems will follow. Among the common menstrual problems, heavy menstruation is one of the more common ones. So let's take a look at what causes clumpy menstruation?

1. If the menstrual period appears clot-like, it may be that the fragments of the shed endometrium form blood clots, or that excessive menstruation consumes too many anticoagulant factors, causing the menstrual period to form blood clots. This is one of the clinical manifestations of the patient's complaint of increased menstruation.

2. If there is a large amount of endometrial shedding, that is, blood clots, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the menstrual flow is heavy and there are many blood clots during menstruation, it is blood stasis. When you have heavy menstruation, you can consider taking Chinese patent medicine to stop the bleeding. However, after the bleeding stops, you can go to the local hospital for a detailed examination in time, mainly to rule out other causes.

3. The presence of blood clots in menstrual blood is related to the amount of bleeding and the speed of bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy and there is not enough time for it to be discharged, it will coagulate into a blood clot and be discharged. Often, the presence of blood clots may indicate that the amount of bleeding is relatively heavy at this time, and it will form a clot. When menstrual blood comes out, the endometrium will fall off, but it may be some fragments, and the blood clots should still come from the blood vessels that supply the endometrium. In other words, the discharge of blood clots during menstruation indicates excessive menstrual flow.

1. According to the symptoms and signs, we can use methods of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating qi and unblocking collaterals to achieve better results. Foods or medicines such as safflower, peach kernel, mint, kuncao, zelan, and red peony root are all effective in improving menstrual blood clots.

2. Those who have clots during menstruation should pay attention to menstrual protection, keep warm in winter to prevent catching cold, do not eat raw or cold food, do not overwork, maintain a happy mood, and combine work and rest. To regulate your menstruation as soon as possible.

3. Eating cold or spicy foods during menstruation can cause blood clots during menstruation. Female friends should drink more brown sugar water during menstruation, as brown sugar has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. This is very effective in regulating menstrual blood clots.

4. From 3 days before menstruation to the end of menstruation, the food you eat should be mainly warm. Eat less grilled, fried, spicy or pickled foods, and avoid eating watermelon, pears, coconut, and grapefruit to avoid affecting blood vessel contraction. Cabbage, bitter gourd and white radish should also be heated before eating.

5. If there are large amounts of blood clots and symptoms of increased menstruation during menstruation. It is very likely caused by uterine disease or gynecological disease, and you should go to the hospital for a uterine and gynecological examination in time.

If the menstrual blood is dark red and contains only a few blood clots and fragments, it is a normal phenomenon. Don't worry too much. Just pay more attention to maintenance during menstruation.
