Why do I have blood clots during my menstrual period?

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that women have every month. For women, menstruation is very important. Menstruation is a barometer of women's health. If menstruation is abnormal, it means that the health is also abnormal. It is necessary to pay attention to it and actively treat it. For example, when some women have menstruation, the menstruation is blood clots. What is going on with this symptom?

What is the reason for blood clots during menstruation?

This situation is not uncommon in clinical practice, and many female friends are troubled by blood clots after menstruation. Of course, there are many reasons for this situation. If a relatively large amount of endometrium falls off, blood clots are easily formed. This is a very normal physiological phenomenon. If the menstrual volume is very large and there are more blood clots during menstruation, it is a phenomenon of blood stasis.

If there are blood clots after menstruation, it has a lot to do with the amount of bleeding and the speed of bleeding. If the amount of bleeding is relatively large and there is no time to flush it out, it will coagulate into blood clots and be discharged. Generally, if there are blood clots, it is very likely that the amount of bleeding is relatively large and blood clots are integrated. After the menstrual blood comes out, the endometrium falls off, but there may be some fragments. The blood clots should still supply the blood flowing out of the endometrial blood vessels, which means that blood clots will be discharged at this time.

In addition, if there are blood clots after menstruation, it may also be due to low estrogen levels, uterine polyps, uterine fibroids, uterine contraceptive devices, and endometritis. You must go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations in time to find out the cause and condition and then do targeted treatment.
