Patient's question:
My current menstrual flow is bright red, but there are small blood clots. Is that normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are multiple reasons why blood clots may be present in menstrual blood, such as: during a normal menstrual period, when the endometrium sheds, blood clots may also form. In traditional Chinese medicine, this is referred to as a deficiency in the body's yang energy or irregular menstruation. It is recommended that you pay attention to keeping warm before and during your period and avoid consuming raw or cold foods. You may follow medical advice to take blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispersing medications, such as Motherwort Granules or Ai Fu Nuan Gong Pills. It is essential to visit a hospital for examination and diagnosis before taking any medication. Please do not self-medicate.
