Menstruation refers to the shedding of the lining of the uterus and vaginal bleeding caused by periodic changes in female hormones. Menstrual blood in healthy women does not produce blood clots.
If the patient finds that the blood clot is like meat, it means that the circulation of qi and blood is not smooth, excessive fatigue, etc.
So what are the common factors of menstrual blood clots?
What color is a normal period?
The main source of menstrual blood is the ruptured and exfoliated endometrium, which is mixed with arterial blood and venous blood, of which arterial blood accounts for a large proportion.
Therefore, menstrual blood does not look bright red, but is slightly dark, slightly sticky, or black blood.
A common factor in menstrual blood clots
1. Physical diseases in women are a common phenomenon, including adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, and tumors. These diseases deplete the anticoagulants of the endometrium, producing blood clots.
If a female friend is tired for a long time, often stays up late, or has genetic problems, it will lead to diseases.
2. During menstruation, women's physical fitness is relatively low. Once they eat cold food or catch a cold, such as eating frozen ice cream or frozen fruit regularly, wear belly button clothes.
These misdeeds can not only cause qi and blood stasis, but also menstrual blood clot disease.
3. There are many measures for IUD contraception. Some women choose to have their uterus in the uterus to achieve the desired contraceptive effect. This substance can cause some damage to the body, such as uterine, inflammation, or mucosal damage. As a result, women experience increased bleeding during menstruation, accompanied by blood clots.
4. Female qi and blood imbalance and anemia are important factors for menstrual abnormalities. Qi and blood stasis are mainly caused by living in a dark and damp environment and long-term depression.
Women should pay attention to menstrual changes.
If a woman has an IUD or tumor in her body, it can also cause menstrual problems.
Menstrual blood clots are mainly related to poor qi and blood circulation.
If a female friend finds out that they have a blood clot disorder during menstruation, they must understand the cause of the disease and carry out targeted treatment.
