Patient's question:
I have a heavy menstrual flow during my period, sometimes accompanied by dark red blood clots. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, the condition known as excessive menstrual blood clots refers to the presence of many coagulated blood clots in the menstrual flow. It is common among women, where the blood clots vary in size and color, ranging from dark purple-black to dark red to pale red. Some women may also experience symptoms such as lower back pain, abdominal distension, and abdominal pain.The causes of blood clots in the menstrual period can stem from many factors. For example, endocrine disorders leading to menstrual irregularities can manifest in various ways, with blood clots being a relatively common symptom. Exposure to cold during the menstrual period can result in blood clots, and prolonged occurrence of blood clots may indicate the possibility of uterine fibroids. Unstable or low mood, improper diet, and other factors can also lead to the appearance of blood clots.
Excessive menstrual blood clots are often a symptom of underlying diseases. If not properly addressed, they can easily lead to conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian tumors, functional uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea, and infertility.
