There are a lot of blood clots in menstruation

We all know that normal girls will have their menstrual period once a month. The female body during the menstrual period is particularly weak because during the menstrual period, the female uterus will discharge a large amount of blood. This blood is generally the damaged and detached uterine wall. Some people also have a lot of blood clots in their menstruation. What's going on? Let me give you a detailed introduction below

Causes of blood clots

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood clots during women's menstruation are mostly related to blood stasis, and are often accompanied by symptoms of qi stagnation and blood stasis, such as rough skin, acne, dullness, etc. In addition, catching a cold during menstruation can also cause blood clots, and over time, it may even lead to uterine fibroids. Therefore, the phenomenon of blood clots during menstruation cannot be ignored.

Reason 1: When menstruation comes, blood clots may flow out because of the normal flow of fragments of the endometrium and epithelial cells shed from the vagina with the blood.

Reason 2: Blood clots in menstrual blood are related to the amount and rate of bleeding. If the bleeding is excessive and there is no timely removal, it will often cause blood clots. The amount of bleeding may be large at this time, so it may accumulate into a clot. This situation is likely to occur after sitting for a long time or just after getting up.

Reason 3: Menstrual blood clots may be related to liver qi stagnation. The more blocked the meridians are, the more blood clots there will be. This can be solved through massage. If you have unbearable abdominal pain during menstruation, massage your lower back and the soles of your feet more often.

Reason 4: Blood clots may also occur during menstruation when you suffer from diseases such as uterine fibroids. If a female friend experiences excessive menstrual bleeding, severe dysmenorrhea, excessive blood clots, etc. during her menstrual period, she must seek medical examination and treatment in time.

Reason 5: If a woman has a cold uterus, the obvious characteristic is that the body will automatically start to store fat to keep out the cold, and her menstruation will become abnormal, one of which is the presence of blood clots during menstruation. However, it should be noted that blood clots during menstruation does not necessarily mean a cold uterus.

【How to adjust】

Eat a low-salt diet 10 days before your period. At the same time, try not to eat cold food or drink strong tea, because the caffeine content in strong tea is high, which can irritate the nerves and cardiovascular system, and easily cause dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstruation and excessive menstrual bleeding.

If the menstrual blood is not only dark red but also contains blood clots, this is a "blood stasis and qi stagnation" constitution, which can be treated with Chuanxiong, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Safflower, etc.

If the menstrual blood is less and light 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. But be careful to take it under the guidance of a doctor.

Drinking high-protein, low-fat foods and taking more vitamins C and E can promote smooth blood circulation in the pelvis, reduce pain caused by congestion, and supplement with rich calcium and magnesium to relax muscles.

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. To regulate your menstruation as soon as possible.
