Is it normal to have blood clots during menstruation?

Menstruation is a cyclical, normal phenomenon that only occurs in women. The appearance and cycle of menstrual blood can reflect a woman's physical health. Generally speaking, normal menstrual blood is not easy to coagulate, so blood clots will not appear. Therefore, it is abnormal if blood clots appear during menstruation. If a woman who is preparing to get pregnant experiences blood clots during her menstrual period, she should pay more attention. The main components of menstruation are blood (3/4 arterial blood, 1/4 venous blood), endometrial tissue fragments and various active enzymes and biological factors. Among them, fibrinolytic enzyme makes menstrual blood liquid and prevents it from coagulating. The menstrual period is usually 3 to 5 days, with a normal range of 2 to 7 days. The average total amount of blood loss is about 50 ml. Under normal circumstances, menstruation is bright red, without dark purple blood clots, and contains a small amount of endometrial fragments, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells. Some people also have a small amount of small blood clots, and menstruation with blood clots is often accompanied by dysmenorrhea. Women who have blood clots during their menstruation are believed by traditional Chinese medicine to be suffering from blood stasis, and often have symptoms of qi stagnation and blood stasis, such as rough, dull facial skin and acne. There are many manifestations of menstrual irregularities caused by endocrine disorders, among which menstrual blood clots are the most common symptoms. Excessive menstrual blood clots are usually caused by the shedding of the endometrium, but if the menstrual flow is heavy and the blood clots are blood stasis, timely conditioning is required. In severe cases, you should go to the hospital to check whether there are other causes of the disease.
