Patient's question:
Does gynecological inflammation cause large and frequent menstrual blood clots? In the last three periods, I started with a little bit of blood, and from the fourth day, there were three consecutive days of large clots, and the blood was very thick. A few days before my period, my discharge was abnormal, first yellow, then green, like pus, sometimes with some residue. The blood clots were large and dark, and from the 6th to today (the 16th), it hasn’t completely stopped yet. I’m very worried... (Since childhood, my menstrual flow has been heavy, but it’s not as severe as these last three times. I’m married, and I did an ultrasound but worry it won’t detect anything because I’ve been checked before and had pelvic effusion, but other tests were normal. I suspect it might be because I didn’t hold my urine long enough, and I’m worried about peeing my pants, even though I feel like I’ve drunk enough water. I have a boyfriend, but I don’t know if it affects him? But basically, it didn’t go in. A little bit.)Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be due to uterine cold, retained menstrual blood, and reduced discharge volume. If the amount is not significant, it can also be considered normal. It is also evident in cases of irregular menstruation, hormonal imbalance, endometrial diseases, and liver qi stagnation, among others. Oral traditional Chinese medicine for nourishing blood and regulating menstruation, such as Xiao Yao Wan, can be used. Gynecological inflammation is an easily occurring gynecological condition. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
