Why, why?.. A very difficult and exciting question for women. Many ladies are concerned that during these days, along with the blood, thick formations come out of them, and consider this a sign of a serious disease of the genitourinary tract. Most of them are scratching their heads about what to do with menstruation with clots. However, everything is not as scary as it seems. In fact, this is quite normal for a woman's body in the reproductive period, especially with heavy discharge. The fact is that with a large amount of outgoing blood in our body, anticoagulants, the bodies responsible for clotting, do not have time to produce enough anticoagulants. Therefore, a blood clot forms in the vagina during menstruation.
Other reasons
In addition to the above factors, there may be other reasons for this phenomenon. So, if clots still appear during menstruation, this can be caused by a number of diseases of the genitourinary tract, which only a specialist can determine. Possible reasons:
- Uterine fibroids. It's small enoughdense formations inside the muscles of the uterus, which lead to the fact that there is an abundant discharge of blood, and a blood clot forms during menstruation.
-
Endometriosis. This is another disease in which similar symptoms are observed. In this case, the tissues of the uterus grow strongly and extend beyond the penis itself, so during menstruation, more blood will be released, and the period itself will last much longer than usual, which can cause blood clots.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome - this disease is accompanied by an increase in the size of the corresponding genital organs and the presence of small, fluid-filled vesicles in them, as well as a decrease in the intensity or complete absence of ovulation. As a result of all this, a woman has a violation of the regularity of the menstrual cycle, an abundance of discharge, which also forms a blood clot during menstruation.
- Miscarriage. There are times when pregnancy does not manifest itself, and a woman does not even realize that a small life has arisen inside her. Therefore, a miscarriage can occur very early for a number of different reasons, which, as a rule, is accompanied by profuse bleeding.
Time to see a doctor
If a blood clot during menstruation is not accompanied by anything, do not worry and take any measures. However, there are additional symptoms, the presence of which indicates some kind of malfunction in the reproductive system and serves as a reason to see a doctor:
- Blood clots form during each menstrual cycle. Usually, our body regulates both the amount of secretions during critical days and their density. If these systems are broken, then you need to be examined by a specialist.
- Increase in the number of clots. Excessive release of anticoagulants also can not testify to anything good. Excessive manifestation of any processes in the body can also be the cause of the disease.
- Clots come out with pain. This can be both a sign of the above diseases, and a number of others. In any case, discomfort should not be ignored.
- Blood clots appear during pregnancy. In this case, you should immediately consult a doctor to avoid trouble both with your he alth and with the condition of the unborn baby.
