Patient's question:
Female, 39. Recently, there have always been uncomfortable symptoms, and gradually, they became more and more uncomfortable. Please ask: What is the reason for having black blood clots during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Based on your symptoms, it is likely that you are experiencing pale menstrual blood with clots primarily due to a condition known as "palpitations of the uterus" (gong hán). It is recommended that you pay attention to preventing cold exposure during your menstrual period, drink a little brown sugar water appropriately, or apply cold compresses to your lower abdomen. Make sure to get adequate rest and avoid overexertion. Do not allow yourself to be under any psychological stress and maintain a cheerful mood. Additionally, ensure you get plenty of rest during this time, and maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. This will be beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
