Introduction
Menstruation refers to the menstrual period. If there is a particularly large amount of blood clots when squatting during menstruation, it may be related to factors such as abdominal exposure to cold, endometritis, or adenomyosis. Patients can receive treatment through daily care, oral medications, or surgery. It could also be associated with cervical polyps, uterine fibroids, or endometriosis. If patients experience other discomfort symptoms, they should go to the hospital for examination.

Menstruation refers to the menstrual period. If a large amount of blood clots appears when squatting during menstruation, it may be related to factors such as abdominal cooling, endometritis, or adenomyosis. Patients can receive treatment through daily care, oral medications, surgery, and other methods. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Abdominal Cooling

If a patient consumes excessive cold foods during menstruation, the abdomen may become chilled, causing poor menstrual flow and resulting in the discharge of blood clots from the vagina. Applying a warm towel or hot water bottle to the abdomen for heat therapy can help alleviate these discomforts.

2. Endometritis

Endometritis is an inflammatory condition caused by bacterial invasion of the endometrial tissue. It can lead to prolonged menstrual periods, increased menstrual flow, dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), and the passage of large amounts of blood clots during menstruation. Patients may take medications such as roxithromycin tablets or penicillin V potassium tablets as directed by a physician.

3. Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis occurs when endometrial glands and stroma invade the uterine muscle layer, continuing to undergo cyclic proliferation, shedding, and bleeding. This leads to symptoms such as increased menstrual flow, prolonged periods, and decreased libido. Patients may undergo surgical treatments as prescribed by a doctor, such as endometrial ablation or lesion resection.

In addition to the common causes listed above, this condition may also be associated with cervical polyps, uterine fibroids, or endometriosis. If patients experience other accompanying discomforts, they should visit a hospital for examination and receive targeted treatment accordingly.
