What is the reason for blood clots during menstruation?

The presence of blood clots during menstruation may be caused by physiological factors or pathological factors, such as endometrial polyps, endometritis, etc.

1. Physiological factors: If the patient sits for a long time or eats cold food during menstruation, it is easy to make menstrual blood discharge difficult, resulting in blood clots during menstruation. If the patient does not have other symptoms, there is generally no need to worry too much, and no special treatment is required. It is recommended that patients pay attention to proper exercise in daily life and avoid eating cold food during menstruation.

2. Pathological factors: If the patient has endometrial polyps, it may cause abnormal uterine bleeding, resulting in blood clots during menstruation. The patient can take progesterone capsules and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If the patient has endometritis, blood clots may also occur during menstruation. The patient may also have symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and fever. The patient can choose intravenous drip for treatment. The drugs that can be used generally include injectable ceftriaxone sodium, which can relieve the patient's symptoms to a certain extent.

Patients are advised to keep their vulva clean and hygienic during menstruation, change sanitary napkins frequently, drink plenty of water, and keep urination unobstructed, which will be beneficial to recovery.
