What are the main reasons for a 50-year-old woman having a long menstrual period with blood clots?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you have blood clots during your period, it may be caused by catching a cold or blood stasis. Pay attention to your diet and avoid cold or cool foods. During your period, do not wash your hair or feet with cold water. For blood stasis, you can take Yimucao ointment or Wujiubaifeng pills to regulate it after your period. For those with irregular periods, you can start taking them from the fifth day of your period, for 20 days, and continue for three months in a row.
