Some girls think that black menstruation is because there are too many toxins in the body? And black blood clots?

Before menstruation, I talked about the formation of menstruation and the taboo of menstruation, as well as the need for treatment when menstruation is dark. Then I specifically talked about the menstrual cycle, the color of menstruation and the length of menstruation.

How often should menstruation come?

Most people learn about menstruation from textbooks, thinking that menstruation comes once every 28~30 days, just like what is written in textbooks, so once the situation changes, they immediately enter a state of doubt, indicating that there must be some diseases or changes, but this is not the case. In fact, menstruation is easily influenced by external factors, so it is normal for the menstrual cycle to fluctuate within 1 week.

Factors affecting menstrual cycle

We are more concerned about the regularity of menstrual cycle, that is to say, if your menstrual cycle itself is regular, no matter the time interval is one month, two months, or even three months to six months, it can be understood as normal, because some people's menstruation is more suitable to be called menstruation.

Only one menstrual abnormality is accidental, and many factors will affect the menstrual cycle. Menstruation is not only regulated by neuroendocrine, but also influenced by many factors such as environment, temperature, mood, stress, work, diet, region, business trip, sleep, fitness, crying and so on.

The menstrual cycle fluctuation caused by these factors is normal, so we don't need to pay too much attention to it, let alone go to the hospital for treatment or medication. If this abnormality lasts for more than three menstrual cycles, you should go to the hospital, and the doctor will check it according to the specific situation and give a treatment plan.

What is the amount of menstruation?

The amount of bleeding of most women in a menstrual cycle is 20~60 ml, which is generally so much, although sometimes the amount is quite large and there are blood clots, mostly in this range. Clinically, it is considered that the menstrual flow of 5~80 ml is normal, and only when the menstrual flow is not within this range is it considered to be problematic.

What color should menstruation be?

Blood is more than just a color. Blood is generally divided into arterial blood and venous blood. Arterial blood looks brighter because it is rich in oxygen. Just like the color number1on the bar chart; Venous blood looks dark red because there is less oxygen in it. When blood leaves the human body, platelets release prothrombin and blood begins to coagulate.

In the process of coagulation, the color of blood will get darker and darker, and finally it will basically be the sixth color on the color card. We can often see this color in our daily life, and the new blood madness color formed after sulfur is broken or scratched may be darker than this color.

Menstruation is mainly the shedding of endometrium, which has spiral arterioles and venules, so menstruation is a mixture of arterial blood and venous blood, of which arterial blood accounts for about 75%, so it seems that menstruation should not be bright red, but a slightly dark color, close to 2~4 colors on the bar chart.

Take a closer look at whether your usual menstrual color is similar to these colors.

How's the blackhead blood clot?

If menstruation does not flow out in time, it will accumulate in the uterine cavity. Then gradually solidified, the color deepened, forming a blood clot. You move, it comes out.

Who is prone to black blood coagulation?

In the first category, sedentary posture will lead to poor menstruation, and the outflow will not flow out and accumulate in the uterine cavity.

Second, abnormal uterine position will lead to prolonged menstruation in the uterus, which will lead to the appearance of black blood clots.

The third category, under normal circumstances, the total amount of bleeding in a menstrual period is 20~60 ml. If the amount of bleeding is more than 80 ml, we will think that there is too much menstrual flow.

Appendix: menstrual tips

1. It is suggested that women who sit in offices for a long time should stand up and exercise for 5~ 10 minutes every hour, regardless of problems. Please be sure to move, even if it is not during menstruation.

2. Pay attention to the risk of anemia when the menstrual flow is large. If you have dizziness symptoms, you must rest in time and avoid activities. Symptoms are still not relieved after rest, so you should see a doctor in time. It is also worth noting that some gynecological inflammation (such as endometritis) can also lead to increased menstruation, but it is not the only manifestation. There are usually other symptoms, such as abnormal leucorrhea and abdominal pain, which can be identified by these signs. If inflammation does exist, it also needs treatment.
