What to do if your menstrual blood is thin and looks like blood

Many women have irregular menstruation, and the state of menstrual blood is also related to people's physical health. People's bad living habits and eating habits may affect menstruation. Some women have very thin blood during menstruation, like bloody water. This situation may also be caused by physical factors. Normal menstrual blood is dark red, so you must pay attention to regulating your body. What should I do if my menstrual blood is thin and looks like blood?

1. Normal color

Normal menstrual blood is usually dark red. At first, the color is lighter, then gradually deepens, and then becomes red and clean. Don't worry if it starts and ends lighter in color, this is normal. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that the light color of menstruation is due to low body temperature, such as qi deficiency, blood deficiency, spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency, etc. Do a good job of daily care and keep the abdomen warm. Eat less sweets, get proper outdoor exercise, and eat more fruits and vegetables.

2. Diet adjustment

The cause of abnormal menstrual color may be anemia. The color of women's menstrual blood is pink or light red, like water, and the menstruation is generally short, ending in about 3 to 4 days. Such women may also feel dizzy and have dry and rough skin. Although they do not have severe dysmenorrhea during menstruation, they may also have symptoms of lower abdominal discomfort and back pain. You can eat some foods that are high in protein and vitamins. These foods mainly include beans, fish, and eggs; vitamins should mainly come from vegetables. Also pay attention to replenishing the energy needed for various functional activities of the human body by consuming carbohydrates.

3. Others

Abnormal emotions, long-term mental depression, sulking, or severe mental stimulation and psychological trauma can all lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is caused by the stimulation of the endometrium by hormones secreted by the ovaries, and the hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the release of hormones from the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.
