What causes heavy menstrual bleeding with blood clots during puberty?
Disease description:
My female friends and I often suffer from menstrual irregularities. The most common issue is the presence of many blood clots during menstruation. Normally, most menstrual blood is bright red and does not contain clots. The appearance of clots indicates stagnation of qi and blood stasis, which can also affect one's appearance. So, what causes heavy menstrual flow with blood clots during adolescence?

The presence of numerous blood clots during menstruation may be caused by pathological factors such as adenomyosis, malpositioned intrauterine devices, endometritis, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, or coagulation disorders. In addition, unhealthy habits such as having multiple sexual partners, frequent intercourse, poor personal hygiene, and repeated intrauterine procedures can increase the risk of developing these conditions. Furthermore, cervical lesions—most commonly cervical polyps—may also be responsible. Cervical abnormalities can be evaluated through gynecological examination and transvaginal ultrasound. After a gynecological exam, the doctor can make a definitive diagnosis. If cervical polyps are found, they can be directly removed, leading to cure of the condition.
