My aunt has a lot of black blood clots

Every normal woman will be afraid of any physical symptoms that occur during menstruation. Because the normality of menstruation is closely related to the health of the reproductive system, if menstruation is abnormal, it proves that there is a problem in some aspect of the reproductive system. The amount of blood produced by each woman during her period is different, but what if you find that your menstrual blood is very heavy and black?

[Reasons for black menstrual blood]

Experts say that female friends are very worried when the menstrual blood turns black. Generally speaking, this happens because the menstrual blood turns black due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the menstrual blood accumulates in the uterus for a long time. Oligomenorrhea refers to less menstrual volume than normal people during menstruation, which is mostly caused by blood deficiency, qi stagnation, blood stasis, cold stagnation in the blood, phlegm obstruction and other reasons.

1. Black blood clots during menstruation are often related to the amount of menstrual bleeding. When the bleeding is heavy, it will not be able to rush out in time, so it will coagulate into a blood clot and be discharged. Blood clots may often occur when the amount of bleeding is heavy at this time, so it forms a clot. When menstrual blood comes out, the endometrium will fall off, but it may be some fragments. The blood clots should still come from the blood vessels that supply the endometrium. In other words, the discharge of blood clots during menstruation indicates excessive menstrual flow. There are black blood clots in menstruation, which vary in size and are often accompanied by bright red menstrual blood.

2. Black menstruation due to blood heat: Black menstruation due to real heat: menstruation comes early, with heavy flow, dark red or purple color, thick and sticky texture, and contains blood clots. Black menstruation occurs due to deficiency of both Qi and blood: the menstrual cycle is advanced or delayed, the menstrual volume increases or decreases, the menstrual period is prolonged, the color is light, and the quality is thin. Cold blood causes black menstruation: delayed menstruation, less blood, dark color and blood clots.
