Heavy uterine bleeding with blood clots

The uterus can be regarded as the most important organ in the reproductive system because it is responsible for nurturing the baby during pregnancy. And because the secretion of estrogen in the female body promotes the shedding of the endometrium, menstruation will also occur at this time, so the health of the uterus is closely related to menstruation. Whenever there is uterine bleeding and blood clots, it is important to understand the cause of this condition.

1. Is there blood clot in uterine bleeding?

Whether uterine bleeding will be accompanied by blood clots depends on the cause of the bleeding. If the bleeding is accompanied by blood clots due to normal menstruation, women do not need to worry, because such blood clots are normal endometrial replacement. If it is caused by a disease, the patient needs to choose a reasonable treatment method based on the specific condition. However, when uterine bleeding with blood clots occurs, remember not to use hemostatic drugs privately to avoid causing other diseases.

2. The main cause of female uterine bleeding

2.1. Uterine bleeding caused by uterine lesions

Uterine lesions are one of the causes of uterine bleeding. Experts say that irregular vaginal bleeding is one of the complications of intrauterine devices, which causes local damage, necrosis and superficial ulcers in the endometrium, leading to bleeding.

2.2. Cervical diseases leading to uterine bleeding

Why do women have uterine bleeding? Cervical disease is also an important cause of uterine bleeding in women. Experts explain that if the cervix is ​​not repaired surgically in time during delivery or induced labor, the cervical opening will be everted. If it is infected, there will be contact bleeding.

Cervical lesions are also a cause of uterine bleeding in women. Experts point out that when cervical tumors occur in the cervix, the tumor invades the blood vessels in the interstitium and can cause vaginal bleeding.

3. Symptoms of uterine bleeding

3.1. Premenstrual bleeding. There is a small amount of vaginal bleeding a few days before menstruation, followed by normal menstruation. This type of bleeding is caused by luteal insufficiency and insufficient secretion of estrogen and progesterone.

3.2. Postmenstrual bleeding. The menstrual period is normal at the beginning, but the bleeding is light and lasts longer in the later stages. This type of bleeding is characterized by incomplete endometrial exfoliation and a mixture of incompletely exfoliated secretory endometrium and early proliferative endometrium. This is mainly due to the slow regression of the corpus luteum and the continuous secretion of progesterone.

3.3. Bleeding caused by endometrial hyperplasia is a typical anovulatory bleeding. Due to the continued existence of follicles and the secretion of a certain amount of estrogen, the endometrium proliferates abnormally, and the endometrium often shows glandular cystic hyperplasia.
