What is the cause of menstrual blood clots?

What happens if I have a lot of blood clots during my period?

Menstrual blood clots are often caused by excessive mental stress, colds, abnormal position of the intrauterine contraceptive device, endometritis, endometrial polyps, etc. After the doctor identifies the cause, targeted treatment can be carried out.

1. Excessive mental stress:

Long-term mental stress and poor rest will cause the endometrium and some fibroblast tissue in the blood to be discharged during menstruation, leading to dysmenorrhea and blood clots. You need to adjust your work and rest habits in time and maintain a happy mood.

2. Catch a cold:

Often eating cold food during menstruation, such as ice cream, ice cream, ice cubes, etc., will lead to increased menstrual volume, accompanied by the discharge of a large amount of blood clots. You can use a hot towel or hot water bottle to apply heat to the abdomen to improve the discomfort symptoms.

3. Abnormal position of intrauterine contraceptive device:

After the intrauterine device is placed, it compresses the endometrium, which may cause poor blood circulation, congestion, and necrosis of the endometrium, resulting in scanty menstruation and shedding of necrotic tissue. The position of the intrauterine device needs to be adjusted under the surgery of a professional doctor.

4. Endometritis:

Postpartum and cesarean section can cause trauma to the endometrium, causing the cervix to secrete a large amount of inflammatory factors, stimulating the endometrium and causing it to fall off. During menstruation, blood clots, lower abdominal pain and abnormal leucorrhea may occur. Patients can take azithromycin dispersible agents, amoxicillin capsules, cephalosporin capsules and other drugs as recommended by the doctor.

5. Endometrial polyps:

It may be due to excessive estrogen levels in the body or stimulation by inflammatory factors. Long-term high-level stimulation will cause excessive growth of the endometrium, the formation of polyps, the discharge of odorous blood secretions, and the discharge of menstrual blood clots, accompanied by symptoms of prolonged menstruation. Surgical treatments such as hysteroscopic polypectomy and hysterectomy can be performed under the surgery of a professional doctor.

During menstruation, you should pay attention to the local cleanliness and dryness of the vulva, and choose underwear made of soft and breathable fabrics, and avoid being too tight.
