Hello:

Under normal circumstances, menstruation is bright red without dark blood clots. Once menstrual blood clots occur, they are often accompanied by dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea often causes patients to be nervous and emotionally unstable. Women with menstrual blood clots are believed by Chinese medicine to be mostly related to blood stasis, and often have symptoms of qi stagnation and blood stasis, such as rough, dull facial skin and acne. Women with black blood clots during menstruation should pay attention to menstrual protection, keep warm in winter, prevent catching colds, avoid eating raw or cold food, not be too tired, keep a happy mood, and balance work and rest.

Menstrual-colored blood clots are often related to menstrual flow. When there is heavy bleeding, it is too late to rush out, and it will condense into a blood clot and be discharged. It is often accompanied by blood clots. Maybe the bleeding volume at this time is relatively large, and it is integrated into one piece. The endometrium will fall off when menstrual blood comes out, but it may be some fragments, and the blood clot should still be blood from the blood vessels that supply the endometrium. In other words, passing blood clots during your period indicates heavy menstrual bleeding.

Menstrual blood is dark red with blood clots, which is a sign of "blood stasis and qi stagnation". Ingredients such as Chuanxiong, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and safflower can be used. If the menstrual blood is less and lighter in color, it belongs to "blood deficiency and body deficiency" and you should use angelica, astragalus, rehmannia, longan and ginseng to replenish the body. If you have a "deficiency cold" constitution with cold hands and feet, use cinnamon twigs, fennel, and mugwort leaves to warm your body.

Diet improvement and conditioning---it is advisable to use high-protein and low-fat drinks, take in more vitamins C and E to smooth blood circulation in the pelvis and reduce pain caused by congestion, and supplement abundant calcium and magnesium to relax muscles.

Foods that should not be eaten - In the first 3 days of MC, the food until the end of menstruation should mainly be warm. Eat less charcoal-grilled, fried, spicy or pickled food. Avoid watermelon, pear, coconut, and grapefruit to avoid constriction of blood vessels. Carve and heat cabbage, bitter gourd, and white radish before eating.

Ginger-date sweet tea---Peel the old ginger, flatten it with the back of a knife and set aside. Put the old ginger and red dates into a pot, add water and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 5 minutes, then add brown sugar.

You can also eat motherwort. Brown sugar should not be drunk before going to bed, and you should not drink it if you have a sore throat.

Having heavy menstruation and blood clots is a sign of coldness, especially if the blood clots are dark in color. In this case, you can drink some hot brown sugar water during menstruation to relieve it. In addition, go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are uterine fibroids. If there are no temperamental lesions, don't worry. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can quickly produce results. Be careful not to use things like hormones. Even if you are diagnosed with endocrine disorders, use traditional Chinese medicine to solve the problem first. It is economical, affordable, convenient and safe.
