Patient's question:
My period has been going on for five days this month, and it's still bleeding. Previously, it usually stopped after about five days, and I never had menstrual cramps or blood clots. But this time, I'm experiencing both cramps and blood clots. So, is this my period or a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
If there are solid tissue masses during menstruation, they are not blood clots. These tissues are soft and do not easily crumble. They originate from the shedding of the endometrium and vaginal epithelium. If menstrual cramps are severe and there are many solid tissue masses, it may be related to uterine cold, chills, or blood stasis. This condition is unlikely to be a miscarriage. If you are still concerned, it is recommended to have a gynecological ultrasound after menstruation. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
