Women enter menopause around the age of 50. During menopause, ovarian function gradually declines, hormone secretion becomes disrupted, and the secretion of estrogen and progesterone decreases. Menstruation also changes, but most women experience a decrease in menstrual flow, with a few showing an increase. So, is it normal for menopausal women to have a large amount of menstrual flow and blood clots?
If menopausal women experience an increase in menstrual flow and blood clots, it is likely to be due to functional bleeding during menopause. Menstrual irregularities and irregular menstrual cycles in menopausal women can sometimes result in excessive bleeding but sometimes less, all of which are caused by decreased ovarian function during menopause. Menopausal women have poor emotions, excessive mental stress, and if combined with overwork and malnutrition, functional bleeding can occur.
If such symptoms occur occasionally, there is no need to worry about continuing to observe. However, if such symptoms occur multiple times, female friends should go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital for examination and use Western medicine for treatment. Generally, hormone therapy is used in clinical practice. Because there is always a lot of bleeding during menstruation, over time it can lead to anemia due to excessive blood loss.
If you do not want to use Western hormone drugs for treatment, you can also go to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the amount of bleeding during menopause is mostly classified as collapse and leakage. It is related to the deficiency of liver and kidney and the deficiency of spleen and kidney yang. The doctor will prescribe corresponding traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations according to the specific conditions of the patient and the patient's constitution.
