What causes blood clots during menstruation?

Some women will experience blood clots during menstruation, and they are very worried when this happens. If female friends just feel sad, it will not be good for their health. Only after we understand what menstrual blood clots are, can we solve this problem. So what exactly causes blood clots during menstruation? Below, the editor will explain this issue to you based on many years of clinical experience.

1. Menstruation is caused by the shedding of the endometrium. The shedding endometrium mixes with blood to form menstrual blood. If there is a large amount of endometrial shedding, that is, blood clots, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the menstrual flow is heavy and there are many blood clots during menstruation, it is blood stasis. When you have heavy menstruation, you can consider taking Chinese patent medicine to stop the bleeding. However, after the bleeding stops, you can go to the local hospital for a detailed examination in time, mainly to rule out other causes.

2. The presence of blood clots in menstrual blood is related to the amount of bleeding and the speed of bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy and there is no time for it to rush out, it will coagulate into a blood clot and be discharged. Often, the presence of blood clots may indicate that the amount of bleeding is relatively 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, and 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.

3. In addition, the normal menstrual period lasts for 2 to 7 days, and in some cases it lasts for 3 to 5 days. If the menstrual period lasts for more than 7 days, it is considered as prolonged menstruation, which is an abnormal phenomenon and should be taken seriously. Prolonged menstruation and heavy menstrual blood clots can be caused by low estrogen levels, uterine fibroids, polyps, endometritis and intrauterine contraceptive devices.
