Menstrual cramps with blood clots? It turns out these are the ones causing the trouble

Menstrual disorders are a common phenomenon among women. Many women have suffered from menstrual disorders, which makes women very distressed. Normal menstrual color is bright red without blood clots, but some people will have blood clots and abdominal pain. What is the reason for this? How can we regulate it?

What are the causes of heavy blood clots during menstruation?

1. Qi stagnation: Qi is the commander of blood. When Qi flows, blood flows. When Qi stagnates, blood coagulates. When emotions are stagnant, liver qi is stagnant, and qi flow is unfavorable, menstruation will be blocked and clots will form.

2. Cold stagnation: When the temperature is warm, the blood will be slippery; when the temperature is cold, the blood will coagulate; when the blood is affected by cold, it will coagulate into lumps. Due to external cold evil, or internal injury caused by cold food, or inherent yang deficiency and internal cold, the cold evil will accumulate in the Chong and Ren meridians, and the blood will be coagulated by the cold and form lumps during menstruation.

3. Qi deficiency: excessive fatigue, or serious illness or long-term illness depletes the vital energy, and the qi is weak and unable to circulate blood, resulting in blood stasis and clots during menstruation.

4. Heat in the blood: due to external heat evil, or excessive consumption of spicy and hot food, or excessive use of medicines to warm the uterus, as well as internal injury due to emotions, the five emotions turn into heat, the heat is hidden in the Chong and Ren meridians, the blood is tormented by the heat evil, and the menstruation comes in lumps.

What to do if there are blood clots during menstruation?

1. Diet adjustment

Female friends should drink more brown sugar water during menstruation. Brown sugar has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and it can help you relax. There is no need to worry, but if there are abnormalities such as increased blood clots, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

2. Chinese medicine conditioning

Generally, Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. According to the symptoms and signs, the methods of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating qi and unblocking collaterals can achieve better results. Herbs such as safflower, peach kernel, mint, kuncao, zelan, and red peony root have good effects on improving symptoms and signs. However, this should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Keep warm and relax

Those with clogged periods should pay attention to menstrual protection, keep warm, prevent catching cold, avoid eating raw or cold food, avoid overwork, maintain a happy mood, and combine work and rest. For those with facial pigmentation, they can be cured by treating the disease externally and internally and regulating menstruation. If you have a "deficient and cold" constitution with cold hands and feet, you can improve your condition by eating a warming diet with cinnamon twigs, fennel, and mugwort.

4. Timely diagnosis

The normal menstrual period lasts for 2 to 7 days, and in some cases it lasts for 3 to 5 days. If the menstrual period lasts more than 7 days, it is considered as prolonged menstruation, which is an abnormal phenomenon and should be taken seriously. Prolonged menstruation and heavy menstrual blood clots may be caused by low estrogen levels, uterine fibroids, polyps, endometritis and intrauterine contraceptive devices. Therefore, you need to go to the hospital's gynecology department for examination and diagnosis so that you can receive symptomatic treatment.
