Blood clots and rotten flesh-like substances in menstrual blood

Menstruation is basically a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs in most women. After women enter puberty, as the body gradually secretes estrogen, symptoms of periodic uterine shedding will appear. However, as women get older, they may find some abnormalities in their menstruation. For example, a small number of women find blood clots and rotten meat-like substances in their menstrual blood. What is going on?

Some female friends have blood clots in their menstrual blood that look like rotten meat. It looks very scary, and they don’t know what’s going on, so naturally they don’t know how to treat it. So what are the blood clots and rotten meat-like things in menstrual blood?

1. The blood clots and rotten meat-like substances that flow out of menstrual blood are a mixture of endometrial fragments and vaginal epithelial cells. When you stand up suddenly after sitting for a long time, or when you just get up, a stream of hot menstrual blood will flow out, and dysmenorrhea will suddenly worsen.

2. Normal menstrual blood does not coagulate. The main reason is that under the action of plasmin, fibrin will be broken down into flowing decomposition products. If the amount of menstrual blood is too much and there is not enough time, and the flow of menstrual blood is blocked, it will coagulate into blood clots and flow out.

It is normal for black blood clots and rotten flesh-like substances to appear occasionally in menstrual blood, but if they appear frequently, it is related to the following factors. Treatment should be sought as soon as possible to avoid delaying the disease.

1. Qi stagnation and blood stasis

Normal menstrual blood is dark red, non-coagulated blood. When qi stagnates and blood stasis occurs, it will affect the flow of menstrual blood. The more blood clots and rotten meat-like endometrial fragments there are, the more severe the meridians are blocked. If you catch a cold during menstruation or feel emotionally upset, it will aggravate qi stagnation and blood stasis.

2. Uterine fibroids

The common symptoms of uterine fibroids are uterine bleeding, which is manifested as heavy menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period. Because the amount of menstrual blood is heavy and cannot flow out in time, blood clots are easily formed. When the amount of blood outflow is large, it will flow out along with larger fragments of the endometrium. Therefore, you can see that the menstrual blood contains both blood clots and rotten meat-like substances.

Attention! Long-term heavy menstrual bleeding, blood clots, dysmenorrhea, and abnormal leucorrhea may be caused by uterine fibroids and should be treated as soon as possible.

Medical treatment is required for symptoms caused by the disease. Here we mainly introduce what to do if there is qi stagnation and blood stasis caused by bad living habits, and there are blood clots and rotten flesh in the menstrual blood and dysmenorrhea.

1. Apply more hot compresses to promote menstrual blood flow

“Cold causes stagnation of Qi” and “Cold causes blood to coagulate”. To avoid blood stasis, apply hot water bags to the waist and abdomen more often to promote local blood circulation. When blood flows smoothly, dysmenorrhea and blood clots will be reduced.

2. Keep a happy mood

Stagnation of liver qi will cause qi stagnation, and stagnation of qi will cause blood coagulation. In order to avoid excessive blood clots and large pieces of endometrial fragments in menstrual blood, think more about happy things during menstruation.

3. Drink brown sugar water

Brown sugar has the effects of strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach, dispelling wind and cold, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. When you have dysmenorrhea and a lot of blood clots during menstruation, you can drink a cup of hot brown sugar water to relieve it.
