What is the reason for heavy menstrual bleeding? Women must watch

Women always have their periods for a few days every month. During this period, girls' bodies are more fragile than usual. In addition to suffering from dysmenorrhea, they also have to worry about whether the menstrual flow is normal. Excessive menstrual flow is a manifestation of irregular menstruation, and female friends must pay attention to it.

1. Blood heat and menorrhagia

The menstrual flow is heavy, bright red, and thick, accompanied by irritability, thirst, urge to drink, yellow urine, and hard stools.

When there is heat in the blood, it disturbs the blood sea and forces the blood to flow downward during menstruation, thus increasing the menstrual volume. The heat burns the blood, so it is bright red and thick. When heat evil disturbs the heart, it causes restlessness; when heat evil damages body fluid, it causes thirst, yellow urine, and constipation. Treatment should be aimed at clearing heat, cooling blood and stopping bleeding.

2. Excessive menstrual flow due to Qi deficiency

The menstrual flow is heavy and the color is light red. The substance is clear and thin, accompanied by pale complexion, shortness of breath, laziness to speak, and weakness in the limbs.

Qi is the commander of blood. When Qi is deficient, it cannot retain blood and Chong and Ren meridians are not solid, resulting in heavy menstrual blood volume. Excessive bleeding will result in insufficient production of menstrual blood, so the menstrual blood will be light and clear in color. If the Qi is deficient, blood cannot be circulated normally throughout the body, so the face becomes pale, the person is short of breath, lazy to speak, and has weak limbs. The treatment should be to invigorate qi and stop bleeding, with Buzhong Yiqi Decoction.

3. Blood stasis and excessive menstrual flow

The menstrual blood is heavy or not clean, purple and black in color, with blood clots, accompanied by lower abdominal pain, purple and dark tongue with ecchymosis.

The blood stasis is blocked in the cell network, and the network is damaged and the blood overflows, resulting in heavy menstrual flow. Blood stasis blocks the flow of new blood into the meridians, so it is not clean. The blood stasis is coagulated and mixed with wind evil, so it turns purple and black into lumps. Blood stasis blocks the meridians, causing abdominal pain, dark tongue, and ecchymosis. The treatment should be to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, as well as to stop bleeding, with Taohong Siwu Decoction.
