Why do I have a lot of blood clots during my period?

Many female friends always regard the blood clots during menstruation as a very normal thing, and usually do not pay attention to it. In fact, this awareness is incorrect. The blood clots during menstruation are a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if there are many blood clots continuously, the cause should be found out and timely treatment should be sought. So, what is the reason for many blood clots during menstruation?

Reasons for heavy menstrual blood clots:

(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 becomes slippery, while when the temperature is cold, the blood becomes coagulated” and “When the blood is affected by cold, it coagulates 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 long-term illness depletes vital energy, resulting in the inability of Qi to circulate blood and sluggish blood flow, which can cause menstruation to form blood clots.

(4) Blood heat: due to external heat evil, or excessive consumption of spicy and hot food, or excessive use of medicines that warm the uterus, as well as emotional injury, the five emotions turn into heat, and the heat is hidden in the Chong and Ren meridians. The blood is tormented by the heat evil and forms clots during menstruation.

It can be seen from this that the amount of menstrual flow of women is closely related to their own physical condition. If a female friend has symptoms of a lot of blood clots during menstruation, she must go to a regular hospital for examination in time. Do not delay the condition and prevent other gynecological diseases from taking advantage of the situation. I hope the above introduction can be helpful to many female friends.
