Why do blood clots occur during menstruation?

The presence of blood clots during menstruation is generally not normal. Menstrual blood clots are related to many reasons, such as sitting for a long time, cold abdomen, endocrine disorders, liver qi stagnation, etc. Regarding the appearance of menstrual blood clots, female friends must pay attention to regulating their bodies. If you cannot determine the cause by yourself, you should seek medical attention for diagnosis and treatment in time.

Sitting for a long time will affect blood circulation, causing blood circulation to be poor, which in turn causes blood coagulation and the formation of blood clots. I don’t know if you have noticed that when you sit still for a long time and suddenly stand up, you will feel like you are about to bleed. At this time, when you go to the toilet, you will find that there are a lot of blood clots.

Second, it may be caused by cold abdomen. Girls who do not pay attention to keeping warm during menstruation, like to eat cold drinks, and like to wear belly-exposing clothes mostly have blood clots during menstruation.

Third, menstrual blood clots are also related to endocrine disorders. Female endocrine disorders can lead to menstrual disorders and abnormal menstruation, and may even cause heavy menstrual flow and blood clots.

Fourth, liver qi stagnation can also cause blood clots during menstruation. The more blood clots there are, the more severe the blockage in the meridians is, which can be solved through massage.

Fifth, blood clots during menstruation are also a symptom of gynecological diseases. The most common cause is premature ovarian failure. In addition, it may also be pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic inflammatory disease can affect women's menstrual discharge, causing blood clots during menstruation, and can also cause abdominal pain and bloating. If you experience these symptoms, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up.
