Doctor's answer:
When blood clots occur, it is often due to exposure to cold, as women are naturally inclined to have a cold constitution. If the body gets cold or consumes excessively cold food, it can easily lead to uterine cold, which impairs the function of the uterus, disrupts blood flow, and affects the normal flow of menstruation, potentially causing blood clots. Therefore, it is important to stay warm, avoid getting cold, and consume fewer cold foods or drinks.The presence of blood clots in menstruation is usually caused by the shedding of the endometrium. However, if there is a continuous occurrence of excessive menstrual flow with blood clots that resemble blood stagnation, it is essential to seek timely regulation, especially for the health and care of the ovaries. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment, based on symptoms and physical signs, employing methods that promote blood circulation and resolve stagnation, as well as regulate Qi and unblock meridians, which have proven to be effective.
