What is the reason for blood clots during menstruation?

The presence of blood clots during menstruation is considered to be related to physiological factors, cold, gynecological inflammation, endocrine disorders, and organic uterine lesions.

1. Physiological factors: Women’s menstrual blood contains endometrium and some fibroblast tissue, and these tissues mixed together will form blood clots, which may be a normal phenomenon and does not require special treatment.

2. Catching cold: If women do not pay attention to keeping warm during menstruation, they may experience menstrual blood clots after catching a cold or eating raw, cold, spicy food.

3. Gynecological inflammation: such as severe cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endometritis, etc., may also cause blood clots during menstruation under the stimulation of inflammation.

4. Endocrine disorders: Due to factors such as work and rest habits, stress, lack of sleep, or polycystic ovary syndrome, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, etc., it may cause increased menstrual flow and the appearance of menstrual blood clots.

5. Organic lesions of the uterus: such as endometrial polyps, submucosal uterine fibroids, submucosal growth of uterine adnexal fibroids, and the presence of an IUD or endometrial hyperplasia in the uterine cavity, may further cause the patient to have increased menstrual flow, thereby forming blood clots during the menstrual period.

If blood clots appear during menstruation and are accompanied by discomfort, you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible and undergo examination and treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.

Note:

You should pay more attention to keeping warm in your daily life, avoid catching cold, eat light food, and avoid spicy and greasy food. You should also avoid excessive fatigue and mood swings, which will help improve menstrual conditions.
