What causes blood clots during menstruation?

The presence of blood clots during menstruation may be a normal phenomenon, and may also be related to pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, endocrine disorders, ectopic pregnancy and other reasons.

1. Normal phenomenon: Menstruation is usually caused by the shedding of the endometrium. When the menstrual blood volume is too much and the endometrium is shed in large quantities, there will be menstrual blood clots, which is a normal phenomenon.

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease: It may be caused by poor hygiene habits and infection by pathogens, which may cause menstrual bleeding under the stimulation of inflammation, and may also cause symptoms of dysmenorrhea.

3. Endometritis: It is generally caused by bacterial infection and may cause irregular shedding of the endometrium, thereby causing blood clots, and may also be accompanied by dysmenorrhea or increased menstrual flow.

4. Endocrine disorders: Bad habits such as staying up late, overwork, mental depression, abnormal eating habits, excessive anger, etc. may cause endocrine disorders and lead to blood clots during menstruation.

5. Ectopic pregnancy: If a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, she will have irregular vaginal bleeding with a large amount of blood, accompanied by the discharge of blood clots.

If a woman experiences large blood clots during menstruation or is accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms such as severe pain, continuous bleeding, etc., it is recommended to seek medical attention in time for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Note: It is recommended that women should have good living habits, get enough sleep, and avoid staying up late. At the same time, they should eat regularly and nutritiously, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Pay more attention to personal hygiene, take frequent baths, and change clothes frequently, which will help prevent menstrual problems.
