1. Symptoms of heavy menstrual flow with blood clots

What are the symptoms of heavy menstrual flow with blood clots? Generally speaking, women's menstrual cycle is 28 to 30 days. A small number of people have slightly different menstrual periods, but as long as there is a certain periodicity, it is still a normal menstrual period. The normal menstrual volume is about 5b250l, and it often fluctuates between 3b250l and 6b250l. The color of menstruation is brown, and the blood is stained with small fragments of uterine wall, cervical mucosa, and squamous epithelial cells in the vagina.

Heavy menstrual flow means that the menstrual volume exceeds 6 ml, and the daily menstrual volume reaches 60-8 ml or even 100 ml.

Calculated based on the number of times sanitary napkins are replaced, it is normal to change 4-6 sanitary napkins a day and no more than two packs in each cycle. If using three packs of sanitary napkins each time is not enough and one sanitary napkin is completely wet, it means that the menstrual flow is too heavy.

The main components of normal menstruation are blood, uterine wall debris, microbial coefficients and various active enzymes. Menstrual blood is generally dark red, non-coagulated, and contains cervical mucus and squamous epithelial cells in the vagina. Month often called liquid.

It is the dissolution and hydrolysis of free fatty acids during menstruation that prevents them from coagulating. But sometimes small clots fall out during menstruation, which are blood clots. It is very common to have blood clots during menstruation, and it is very normal. However, the blood clots are light purple and close to gray-black mucous fluid, or liver-colored lumps. Most people describe them as lumps of pig blood. This means that the menstrual period is abnormal, which is often accompanied by heavy menstrual flow.

2. Causes of heavy menstrual flow and blood clots

Generally, the menstrual cycle with heavy menstrual flow and blood clots lasts more than seven days, and is accompanied by a large number of blood clots or hemorrhage. Heavy menstrual flow with blood clots is a common menstrual disorder. So what is the cause of heavy menstrual flow with blood clots?

1. The cause of menorrhagia is due to weak constitution, sinking of middle qi, unbalanced diet, fatigue, and long-term illness that damages the spleen, resulting in spleen deficiency, weak qi, and water loss and blood loss. The body is naturally yang-dominant, the seven emotions are excessive, the five desires turn into fire, and one eats a lot of spicy food. One is exposed to external wind, cold, and heat evils, and the heat is hidden, forcing the blood to flow.

2. It is caused by factors such as accidentally connecting fatigue during menstruation, long-term blood stasis, blood accumulation after childbirth, and inability of new blood to return to the menstruation. The fat and blood clots during menstruation are regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-uterine-ovarian axis, resulting in regular changes.

3. The fallen uterine wall mixes with blood to form menstruation. If a large amount of endometrium falls off and there are blood clots, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the uterine wall is infected, there may also be increased bleeding, abdominal pain, etc.
