What causes large blood clots during menstruation?

Many women will find that there are many blood clots in their menstrual blood during menstruation. Most people think that this is a normal phenomenon. In fact, the appearance of large blood clots during menstruation generally indicates that there are some problems with the body.

Let the editor give you a detailed introduction to the reasons for the appearance of large blood clots during menstruation!

The presence of blood clots in women's menstrual blood is generally affected by the following four factors. Let us understand them together and don't let menstruation bring you unforgettable pain.

1. Blood clots in menstrual blood are often related to the amount of bleeding and the rate of bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy and occurs too late, it often contains blood clots. The amount of bleeding may be heavy at this time and it may turn into a lump.

2. Blood clots during menstruation may be caused by liver qi stagnation. The more blood clots there are, the more blocked the meridians are. At this time, the problem can be solved through massage.

3. The appearance of blood clots during menstruation is a common symptom of menstrual irregularities. Most of the time, blood clots during menstruation are caused by the shedding of the endometrium in the female body, leading to bleeding symptoms.

How to regulate menstrual blood clots:

1. If blood clots occur during menstruation, we usually use Chinese medicine to regulate it. According to the symptoms and signs, the methods of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating qi and unblocking collaterals have better effects. 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.

Those with clogged periods should pay attention to menstrual protection, keep warm in winter to 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. Women who catch cold or drink cold drinks during menstruation can easily develop uterine cold, which is very detrimental to future pregnancy.

If the menstrual blood is dark red with blood clots, it is a sign of "blood stasis and qi stagnation" and can be treated with ingredients such as Chuanxiong, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and Safflower. If the menstrual blood is less and lighter in color, it is a sign of "blood deficiency and body weakness" and you should use angelica, astragalus, rehmannia, longan, ginseng, etc. to nourish the body. If you have a "deficient and cold" constitution with cold hands and feet, you can eat cinnamon twigs, fennel, and mugwort to warm your body. If conditions do not permit, you can use a hot water bottle to apply heat to your lower abdomen to speed up blood circulation and promote metabolism.

2. Improve your diet - drink high-protein, low-fat foods, take more vitamin C and vitamin E to promote blood circulation in the pelvis and reduce pain caused by congestion, and supplement with calcium and magnesium to relax the muscles.

If blood clots occur during every menstrual period, it is best to see a doctor for examination in time. In addition, you must pay attention to maintaining an optimistic mood in your daily life, especially in winter, you must keep warm and prevent catching a cold.
