What Does It Mean When Menstrual Blood Contains Clots?
Disease description:
I’ve been menstruating these past few days, and I noticed that my menstrual blood contains numerous blood clots. The clotting seems excessive, and my period has lasted longer than usual. Could you please explain what might cause blood clots during menstruation?

Hello, menstruation is a normal physiological process experienced by all women. The presence of blood clots during menstruation is primarily due to insufficient hydration in the body, which can cause menstrual blood to become thicker and form clots. Increasing your water intake during the recovery phase can help dilute the blood and reduce or prevent clot formation. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
