Why are there blood clots during menstruation

Patient's question:

Please ask: What is the reason for having blood clots during menstruation? The amount is very large, and there is some abdominal pain. Looking forward to the experts' reply! Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the menstrual cycle of women is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian-gonadal axis. Factors such as mental stress, emotional fluctuations, environmental changes, pregnancy, age, diseases, medications, and nutritional status can all cause dysfunction of this gonadal axis, leading to menstrual disorders. A delay or advancement of about one week in the menstrual cycle is considered normal. If the menstrual cycle is delayed by more than 10 days, it is necessary to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for appropriate examinations to confirm the diagnosis.
