Dr. Chen Zhe
The hazards of excessive menstrual bleeding with blood clots generally include shock and severe anemia, which may lead to dizziness, fatigue, anxiety, memory loss, and ischemia in various organs throughout the body. Patients experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding should promptly seek medical attention to identify the underlying cause and receive timely treatment. When anemia occurs, patients can take oral blood-building medications and consume iron-rich foods such as animal liver, animal blood, and spinach.
