Heavy menstrual bleeding

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon that every woman will experience. Because menstruation is caused by the periodic shedding of the female endometrium, there will be blood production in the female's lower body during menstruation. A woman can effectively find out whether there are related gynecological diseases by observing the amount and color of menstrual blood. The amount of menstrual blood of a normal woman is neither too much nor too little, but what does a large amount of blood during menstruation mean?

What are the symptoms of heavy menstrual flow and blood clots? Generally speaking, the female menstrual cycle is 28 to 30 days. There are also a few people whose menstrual periods deviate slightly, but as long as there is a certain regularity, it is still a normal menstrual period. The normal menstrual volume is about 50ml, often fluctuating between 30ml and 60ml. The color of menstruation is dark red, and the blood is mixed with small fragments of shed endometrium, cervical mucosa, and vaginal epithelial cells.

Heavy menstrual flow means that the menstrual volume exceeds 60ml, reaching 60-80ml or even around 100ml a day.

Calculated by the number of sanitary napkins changed, it is normal to change 4-6 sanitary napkins a day and no more than two packs per cycle. If using three packs of sanitary napkins each time is not enough and each sanitary napkin is soaked, it means that your menstrual flow is too heavy.

The main components of normal menstruation are blood, endometrial fragments, biological factors and various active enzymes. Menstrual blood is generally dark red, non-coagulated, and contains cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells. Moon is often called liquid. This is the effect of the fibrinolytic enzymes in menstruation, which prevent it from coagulating. But sometimes small clots fall off during menstruation, which are blood clots. Blood clots during menstruation are a very common phenomenon and it is very normal. However, if the blood clot is dark purple, close to black mucous fluid, or liver-colored, and most people describe it as a pig-red object, then it is menstrual abnormality, which is often accompanied by heavy menstrual flow.
