Are periods with clots bad?

As for what it's related to, menstruation is the shedding of a ruptured egg, so of course there will be clots... in my opinion, it's all normal. Unless, of course, you're only passing clots, then it would make sense to see a doctor.

I get that too.

I have that happen to me too, I think there's no reason to worry..

It happens to me so often, and my mother had it too, it's normal.

What utter nonsense.

I usually don't open such nauseating topics about bodily fluids and sex, but I'll respond here.

Menstruation, as far as I recall, is the shedding of the uterine lining after ovulation, so clots are actually the very essence of "those" days, while blood is merely an "addition".

It's not bad, it's fine.

That's normal. Don't worry. It's just the shedding of the endometrium after all.

Actually, it's a fibroid(((( How's the ultrasound???

This could be due to a common cold or some other type of viral respiratory infection.

Hmm... why do you even go to the doctor if you don't trust them one bit? Just change your doctor and stop creating such threads... At least you didn't share any smells.

Oh dear, what awful things people write and aren't ashamed.

Author, this is normal. Clots are supposed to be there.

Clots are blood that did not exit in time and coagulated inside (blood has this property), and then later came out in the form of these clots. Gynaecologists do not approve of this, explaining that everything should come out quickly. But overall, it is not a problem.

That's fine.

It's unfortunate when there are no clots))) Otherwise, some manage to observe what they think are "periods" almost up to six months into pregnancy. And they only realise they're pregnant when their belly is practically in their face).

On some forum, a gynaecologist mentioned that clots are a sign of hormonal issues; normally, blood in the uterus should not clot. Therefore, it's better to consult a doctor.

Yes, I'm no longer a girl, I know that. And I'm aware of what clots are. What alarmed me wasn't their presence, but their size. I've never had anything like this in all my 20 years of having a menstrual cycle.

Thank you to everyone who responded normally, without sarcasm.

It's simply that your endometrium has built up quite significantly, which is shed each month.

Due to certain hormonal shifts, the endometrium can grow up to 2.5cm in thickness. Imagine, the uterus in its normal state is about the size of a fist, and inside there's a cavity (like in your fist, but in cross-section, the uterus somewhat resembles an upside-down pear – with the base at the top and the tip pointing down). Now picture that inside this cavity, a lining has built up to 2.5cm (for some it's less, for others more). And this "delight" has to be shed. It can come away in pieces, or it might all come out at once, however it happens. There's no need to be afraid, but do keep up with your gynaecology check-ups.

As for fibroids, as mentioned here, they have absolutely no relation to the endometrium in this case.

Marchioness, thank you for the detailed response. Today, I visited the doctor again, and she explained everything to me. Prior to this, I had a two-week delay and my endometrium had thickened beyond the normal range, which accounts for the heavy flow and the presence of large clots.

I sometimes feel down.

I get that too sometimes! But right now, for example, my stomach really hurts((((

My God, such things happen, it's normal, don't worry, everything will be fine :)

This is the first time this has happened to me... I was really frightened.

Girls, can you help me out?

I've only had my period for 4 months,

And now I have clots

And there's a lot of them...

I'm scared, what should I do?((

I had that too at the start of my period, and it still happens sometimes, don't worry :)

It's blood, the blood is just clotting, that's all :)

Please tell me, I have a delay in my period of about 7 days now... also... in my opinion, thrush has appeared..

What should I do...??? A week before this, I had sexual intercourse... but everything was safe. I also observed a week of fasting.

Previously, my period lasted 5-7 days with dark blood and clots, and I had severe PMS. Now that I've started exercising, the PMS has gone away, and the blood has become bright red, lasting only 3 days. Exercise definitely hasn't made things worse. Could clots be abnormal?

Oh, that's a relief—so everything's fine then!

I also have clots, but I didn't have them before; this started after the age of 25-26, and now for a couple of years or more, the first day of my period is hell because I suffer from terrible pain, a cramping pain that grips and then releases, which I think is due to inflammation of the uterus.

Tell me, what does it mean if my periods started last year in July and then I didn't have any until May, they last for 5 days with clots. Also, I always have some discharge, clear mucus... Please advise how serious this is and whether the menstrual cycle will normalise???????????????

I AM 14 YEARS OLD.

Allah, it's fine, I had exactly the same at your age, everything's fine now)

I don't remember what happened at fourteen, but now I'm 32, have given birth to two children, and constantly have clots. I go to the doctors regularly, and everything is fine. But for some reason, I worry every period!!!! Is this normal????

This is my first time experiencing this! Clots the size of an egg are coming out, and my periods are very heavy.

Your text I WAS IN SHOCK TODAY... I WENT TO THE TOILET, AND MY IUD HAD FALLEN OUT AND ALL DAY THERE WERE SUCH BIG CLOTS, SOME THE SIZE OF AN APRICOT... I WAS TERRIBLY FRIGHTENED... IT'S THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

I am 13 years old and have been having periods since I was 11. For about a year now, my periods have been coming with clots regularly. The sizes aren't very large; at first, I was confused and thought it was a bad thing. I found various texts and links online and understood why it happens, where it comes from, and what's going on. It's not scary; the clots are essentially part of ovulation. Don't worry.

Hello, I'm 17 years old. I have periods with brown clots, they come almost regularly for 1-2 days, I'm afraid to tell my mum and also scared to go to the doctor. What could this be??? I'm a virgin and lead a healthy lifestyle.

I also used to have periods with clots (never paid much attention to it), and it turned out to be endometriosis. Now I'm undergoing leech therapy, and it seems to be helping—my first period without clots.

Girls, here's a video for you. At the end, it explains what these clots are from. Even though it's a cartoon and for children, everything is clear and understandable_)

Please tell me)

I had unprotected sexual intercourse on November 27th. I took Escapelle 13.5 hours later. On December 6th (on time), I started a painful period with clots. Please tell me, could I be pregnant? I'm very worried.

I had periods with clots for about three years. Every time, my stomach hurt so much I couldn't get out of bed. This year, I saw a good doctor who found a huge fibroid. I had surgery. It's been over six months now—no painful stomach, no clots. So, you tell me if that's normal or not.

I'm 14 years old, and I have periods with clots, and I'm worried.

Your text

First of all, go to the doctor. Anyone who says this is normal – it's absolutely not normal. The doctor will explain to you what this could be linked to: from a disrupted hormonal balance to an illness which, believe me, will be much easier to treat with conservative methods at your age than ten years later! Good luck!

Can a virgin have periods with clots?

This month, for the first time, I also experienced periods with blood clots. I'm already 44 years old and have never had this happen before, and I was really frightened too. A month ago, I visited the gynaecologist and had an ultrasound, which showed everything was normal, although prior to that, there was a slight irregularity in my menstrual cycle, which is why I went to the doctor. Now, I'm concerned about whether this is truly nothing serious or if the doctors don't understand and aren't competent, forcing us to turn to the internet and forums??? So, what is this and what's the cause??? Are there any specialists here on the forum?

Hello!

I'm 14.

My periods started a year ago.

And since they began, they've been coming as they should, meaning every 28 days.

I read online that after the first time, they might start every 2-3 months and that's normal. But mine are exactly every 28 days! Tell me, is this normal?

Of course it's normal. Everything is fine with you.

I get that too...with clots...I'm also scared and don't want to go to the doctor! But the thing is, the discharge is very heavy as well, and there are clots! What should I do??? I'm frightened...

I'm only 12 myself, and it's only my second period!

Some people write that clots are blood that hasn't had time to coagulate! But I've read that there shouldn't be any clots because menstrual blood contains special enzymes... now I'm confused! It's frightening! What if I need a curettage? God forbid!
