How to treat menstrual blood clots

Menstrual blood clots may be a normal physiological phenomenon and generally do not require treatment, but it does not rule out the possibility that they are caused by decreased ovarian function or blood stasis. Symptomatic treatment can be carried out according to the cause.

1. Normal phenomenon: Menstruation and menstrual volume are normal, there are no discomfort symptoms, and there are not many blood clots. No treatment is required. This is a normal menstrual physiological phenomenon.

2. Adolescence: Adolescent girls may experience blood clots or irregular menstrual cycles due to the imperfect menstrual regulation mechanism of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis. If there are no discomfort symptoms, they can continue to be observed without the need for special treatment.

3. Decreased ovarian function: Perimenopausal women may experience endocrine disorders due to decreased ovarian function, leading to bleeding, blood clots, prolonged menstruation, and anemia. Scraping can be performed to stop bleeding and eliminate the risk of uterine lesions.

If there is no lesion in the endometrium, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic treatment can generally be carried out. If anemia occurs, blood supplementation is also needed to improve the symptoms of anemia.

4. Condensed blood stasis: If there is lower abdominal pain before or during menstruation, accompanied by blood clots and fear of cold, it is generally caused by condensed blood stasis dysmenorrhea. It can be treated with Chinese medicine that warms the meridians and dispels cold, and activates blood circulation and removes blood stasis. At the same time, during menstruation, you should pay attention to menstrual hygiene, avoid infection, rest more during menstruation, and avoid strenuous exercise.
