Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation caused by endocrine disorders has many manifestations, among which the presence of excessive menstrual clots is a relatively common symptom. What causes menstrual clots? Menstrual clots usually occur due to large-scale shedding of the endometrium, which makes clot formation more likely. If only a small number of clots appear, it won't have a significant impact. However, if clots appear in consecutive menstrual cycles, and the quantity of clots is large, it may be due to blood stasis, and timely regulation should be carried out. If the symptom of menstrual clots is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital to check for other potential causes.Feeling cold during the menstrual period can lead to the appearance of clots, and prolonged clotting may increase the likelihood of uterine fibroids. Menstrual clots are generally rare in young people. If menstrual clots occur, it is advisable to go to the hospital for examination to determine the underlying cause. Under normal circumstances, menstruation is bright red without dark purple clots. Once clots appear in menstruation, it is often accompanied by dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea often causes patients to feel mentally tense and emotionally unstable.
