Why do menstruation go with blood clots: the principle of the appearance of clots

With the problem of painful and abundant menstruation, in which there are blood clots, many women occasionally face. If this phenomenon is repeated repeatedly, you should think about the state of health of your reproductive system. Let's try to figure out why the menstruation goes blood clots.  To determine what such phenomena are caused, in general terms, the principle of the anatomical structure of the uterus should be understood. In fact, it is a muscle hollow organ in which nature provides for the development of the fetus in case of pregnancy.

This body consists of three layers:

• perimetry - shell covering the uterus;
• myometry - the actual muscle layer;
• endometry - a layer that lines the uterus from the inside.

During the menstrual cycle, you can observe the loosening of the endometrial layer and its thickening - as a result, it is ready to take a fertilized egg. In the case when the pregnancy did not occur, the endometrial layer is rejected and menstrual bleeding is observed (from here you can hear the poetic phrase “The uterus cries with bloody tears”).

In the process of menstruation, a woman loses about a glass (usually up to 200 ml) of blood. Such blood loss is quickly replenished with the female body, so you should not worry. These discharge with a specific smell last several days (usually from 3 to 5), while their color can be modified from scarlet shade to dark cherry or brownish. The consistency of menstrual discharge can also change. Typically, coagulation of such blood is low. Nevertheless, if anticoagulant enzymes do not cope in the process of abundant bleeding, blood, rolled in the form of clots appears among the discharge. With menstruation, clots with a diameter of a few millimeters to 3-4 centimeters can be observed.

The phenomenon, when menstruation goes with clots occasionally, is not considered a pathology. At the same time, for some women, blood clots during menstruation is a familiar phenomenon. Taking a similar problem of a doctor, you can get various explanations of such a problem. As a result of a detailed examination, violations of the work of various systems (in particular, endocrine), or the functioning of individual organs (uterus, as well as ovaries), can be identified. In addition, it is worth considering that excessively abundant menstruation can act as the cause of iron deficiency anemia. If there is a large volume of blood (over 200 ml), it is necessary to consult a gynecologist to find out the causes of this phenomenon. As a norm, doctors mention blood loss with menstruation up to 60 ml per day.

If such discharge is observed for a long time, this phenomenon cannot be launched by itself. Otherwise, it can aggravate additional unpleasant symptoms, as well as the development of various problems in the future - up to infertility and serious disorders of the state of health (in the worst case, oncological diseases).  In addition, if menstruation goes clots, iron deficiency anemia can threaten the body due to prolonged abundant bleeding. If there is a feeling of ailment and weakness, reducing performance, dizziness and pallor of the skin, it is worth passing a general blood test. If iron deficiency anemia is detected, the doctor prescribes iron preparations, and after one to two months a significant improvement in well-being can be expected.

Typical symptoms of this disease are painful, too long periods, accompanied by weakness, pressure drops, sometimes with heat or chills. In addition, with endometriosis, irregular uterine bleeding can be observed.

Hyperplasia of the endometrium can provoke various causes that provoke changes in the hormonal background - observed, for example, with diabetes.

Some women have an irregular shape of the uterus or the presence of partitions inside its cavity. This structure refers to congenital or acquired (due to an incorrect lifestyle, abuse of bad habits) abnormalities.

Often, as the reasons for the appearance of abundant menstruation, accompanied by the appearance of clots, various hormonal disorders of the functioning of various body systems, including the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus and pituitary gland, as well as the pelvic organs in the form of uterus and ovary. In addition, hormonal malfunctions can be triggered by thyroid diseases, as well as adrenal glands. To identify such phenomena, you will need to undergo a complete examination. If there are suspicions regarding the presence of malnutrition of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, magnetic resonance or computed tomography will be required. In case of detection of tumors, they are removed, other violations are treated with conservative methods.

Various diseases of the hypothalamus, including tumor, can provoke increased production of the follicletropin pituitary gland (follicle -stimulating hormone). Due to such increased secretion, an acceleration of the maturation of the egg and the suppression of the luteinizing, as well as the female hormone progesterone, is observed, while the production of estrogen increases. As a result, the growth of the endometrial layer is observed - and, as a result of rejection of this mucous membrane, bleeding is observed (monthly with blood clots go abundantly). Under the influence of estrogens, the reverse development of the temporal gland of internal secretion (yellow body of the ovary) can occur - while the production of progesterone is reduced, as a result, abundant menstrual discharge is observed, often with blood clots.
