Blood clots during menstruation - is it worth it to worry?

  Since childhood, every little woman knows that menstruation is normal and even necessary. Menstruation monthly reminds of itself in the form of spotting, which includes blood, the inner lining of the uterus, which, by the way, is formed every month, as well as particles of the vaginal membrane, etc. Menstruation suggests that the girl’s body is preparing for fertilization. If the egg secreted by the ovaries is fertilized with sperm, the mucous membrane remains. If it remains empty, it leaves with the endometrium in the form of spotting, sometimes resembling clots. In this case, women immediately begin to worry, because regular periods without any deviations are evidence of the health of the woman's reproductive system. Any failures can cause big problems in the future.

Menstruation in the form of bloody clots

Blood clots during menstruation - This is a common occurrence among women. And, of course, everyone is interested in what are the reasons for their appearance. In fact, everything is very simple - if a woman moves a lot, blood mixed with secret is released regularly and has a liquid consistency. However, in case of lack of movement (sedentary work, etc.), the vagina is released from the blood more slowly, it begins to curl up, forming clots, because the enzymes that are responsible for blood thinning do not have time to do their job. Menstrual blood of a similar consistency has a dark red color. Its hue is richer than the shade of menstrual bleeding. Doctors are sure that a small number of blood clots does not need to be diagnosed.

And if there are a lot of clots and they are accompanied by pain? This phenomenon in this case may indicate a serious malfunction in the body - the appearance of endometriosis (proliferation of the endometrium - the uterine mucosa). This benign disease has various causes, among which there are abortions, an abnormal lifestyle (smoking, as well as alcohol), inflammation of the uterus, ovaries, etc., hormonal failure, etc. Blood clots with endometriosis are released immediately after menstruation, so only a doctor can diagnose the disease.

Other causes of clots after childbirth

1. Miscarriage in the early stages (when pregnancy has not yet been determined). In this case, their color may acquire a gray or yellow tint.
2. Bend of the uterus.
3. Excess Vitamin B.
4. Thrombosis.

It should be noted that with concomitant symptoms (loss of strength, irritability, fatigue), you should consult a doctor. If your period goes regularly and there are few clots, you don’t need to worry. Be healthy!
