Why does menstruation feel like snot?

Menstruation is a very important physiological phenomenon for women. All women regard it as their most precious friend, because menstruation can reflect the physical health of women. Once there is an abnormality in menstruation, the body will react at an extremely fast speed. For example, some women's menstruation will be as sticky as snot. So, why is menstruation like snot?

1. Menstruation appears like nasal discharge mixed with endometrial debris and mucus, and occasionally small blood clots. It is possible that it is menstrual disorder, and you need to consider whether there is an inflammatory infection, such as vaginitis, cervicitis and other inflammatory infections. It is recommended that you do a gynecological examination three days after the menstruation ends to understand your current health condition.

2. Factors that cause thick menstruation may be related to mental factors, mood swings, environmental changes, pregnancy, age, disease, drugs, and nutritional status. It may also be caused by severe cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, uterine submucosal fibroids or fallopian tube cancer. Some intrauterine devices can also cause bloody secretions. The menstrual blood is thick and contains a small amount of black blood clots, and the uterus occasionally hurts during intercourse. Normal menstrual blood is slightly dark red in color. Because it contains a large amount of necrotic uterine mucosa and inflammatory cells, it is relatively viscous and mixed with darker mucosa.

3. Uterine fibroids, polyps, endometrial cancer, etc. can cause blood clots in menstrual blood. If you experience vaginal contact bleeding, discharge, frequent pain in the lower abdomen, etc., you must be cautious! Because these symptoms are likely caused by gynecological inflammation and are related to pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, endometritis, etc. Relevant inspections are needed to confirm this.

An ultrasound examination can be performed to determine the cause and then anti-inflammatory treatment can be given. You can start taking Huahong tablets, metronidazole, and cephalosporin antibiotics during your menstrual period. Take it for ten consecutive days each time. If there is time, intravenous infusion will have a faster anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, thick menstrual flow with a small amount of black blood clots is a sign of blood stasis in the body. Uterine pain during sexual intercourse may be a sign of inflammation.
