In order for you to understand it as soon as possible and to improve it as soon as possible, let's take a look at the detailed introduction below.

What is the reason for heavy menstrual flow after childbirth?

1. Due to excessive secretion of ovarian estrogen, or long-term stimulation of the endometrium causing it to proliferate beyond normal thickness, the amount of bleeding increases during shedding. Such as anovulatory functional uterine bleeding.

2. Caused by organic gynecological diseases. Uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, etc.

3. Systemic diseases. Such as: leukemia, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, pernicious anemia, liver disease, hypertension, etc.

4. Mental factors, fatigue, postpartum period, intrauterine device, etc. can also cause heavy menstrual flow.

5. The abundance of spiral arterioles in the endometrium or increased vascular fragility can also cause heavy menstrual flow.

What is the cause of heavy menstrual flow and blood clots?

The presence of blood clots in menstrual blood is mainly 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, blood clots may be caused by the amount of bleeding at this time, which 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.

Menstruation with blood clots is affected by the hypothalamus-pituitary-

If you experience large blood clots, your clothes and bed sheets often get soiled, you need to use extra-large sanitary napkins, and you experience dizziness, it means you are bleeding too much. When there is no ovulation and the menstrual flow is too little or has not come for too long, the endometrium becomes very thick and unstable because it is not completely shed, and when it is shed, it will cause a large amount of menstrual flow. If a lot of blood is lost in an instant, the body will not be able to support it and the person may faint, which is very dangerous.

If you have excessive menstrual flow for a long time and the condition becomes more serious with age, you should consider whether you have uterine fibroids, uterine adenomas, or abnormal blood coagulation function. When uterine fibroids grow in the uterine cavity or close to the endometrium, they can cause excessive menstrual bleeding.
