What is the cause of sticky menstruation?

Many female friends will find that their menstrual blood is very sticky during menstruation, and it is very similar to transparent liquid such as phlegm. Sometimes when using toilet paper to wipe, you can see the mucus. Many female friends are very worried about this situation, fearing that their bodies have some bad diseases. So, what is the reason for the sticky menstruation?

First, why is the menstrual period sticky? Abnormal menstrual blood may be due to physiological factors or pathological reasons. Both are possible. Just continue to observe. If the amount of menstrual blood and menstrual period are normal, then there is no need to worry too much. It is safer to do a gynecological examination when necessary. If there are problems during the examination, they can be treated. If there are no problems, you can rest assured. Be sure to keep warm during menstruation and avoid excessive fatigue, otherwise this will affect menstruation. If menstrual blood appears sticky, it may be because it is mixed with semen. This does not have much impact on the menstrual period. After two days of excretion, the menstrual blood will return to normal, so there is no need to worry too much. Sexual intercourse should be avoided during the menstrual period.

Second, menstrual blood is dark red like venous blood, but bright red when the amount is excessive. It contains degenerated omentum fragments, cervical mucus, vaginal epithelial cells, a large number of bacteria and vulvar sebaceous gland secretions. The main characteristic of menstrual blood is that it does not coagulate, which is due to fibrinolysis. Therefore, it is not abnormal for menstrual blood to be sticky. Suggestions: Women lose a certain amount of blood during menstruation, and due to changes in hormone levels in the body, the body's resistance level will be lower than usual. Women with heavy menstrual flow have more obvious poor immunity during menstruation than women with light menstrual flow.

Why is menstruation sticky? Under normal circumstances, menstruation is bright red, without dark purple blood clots. Once menstruation with blood clots occurs, it is often accompanied by dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea often causes patients to become mentally tense and emotionally unstable. Women who have blood clots during their menstruation are believed by traditional Chinese medicine to be suffering from blood stasis, and often have symptoms of qi stagnation and blood stasis, such as rough, dull facial skin and acne. Some patients experience facial pigmentation, which directly affects their facial beauty. In this case, Chinese medicine can generally be used for treatment. According to the symptoms and signs, the methods of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating qi and unblocking collaterals can have better effects. Herbs such as safflower, peach kernel, mint, kuncao, zelan, and red peony root have good effects on improving symptoms and signs. However, this should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Those with clogged periods should pay attention to menstrual protection, keep warm in winter to prevent catching cold, avoid eating raw or cold food, avoid overwork, maintain a happy mood, and combine work and rest. For those with facial pigmentation, they can be cured by treating the disease externally and internally and regulating menstruation.
