What causes menstrual blood clots?

Menstrual blood clots are a normal physiological phenomenon and usually do not need to be too worried. During menstruation, the endometrium thickens and becomes rich in blood, which means it can provide nutrients for the fertilized egg. If the fertilized egg does not implant, the endometrium will peel off and be discharged from the body, forming menstruation. Sometimes blood clots appear, which are actually formed by the shedding of the endometrium.

1. Physiological factors: Normal menstrual flow contains blood, endometrial tissue and other cell fragments. During this process, the blood flow in the blood cavity is blocked due to uterine contraction, and part of the blood coagulates into clots in the uterus. It is eventually discharged from the body along with other substances, forming the blood clots we see.

2. Disease factors: If there are a lot of blood clots, or accompanied by severe pain, abnormal menstrual cycle and other symptoms, it may be caused by uterine fibroids, cervical inflammation, thyroid problems, etc. If these abnormal conditions occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and conduct relevant examinations to determine the cause and take effective treatment measures.

Blood clots during menstruation are usually a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if accompanied by abnormal symptoms or other discomfort, it is recommended to see a doctor for detailed examination. Maintaining good health, regular life, proper diet, and active exercise are important measures to maintain normal menstruation. At the same time, paying more attention to your physical condition and timely discovering and dealing with problems are crucial for women's health. I hope every female friend can have a healthy and beautiful life!
