Can you please answer this "womanhood" question seriously?

Question

Pleeeease just keep your answers clean---

Ok, so a couple of days after I've started my period, really large blood "clots" come with it, and I just wanted to know if this is natural or if I should tell my mom about it or what... thanks.

K, guys, I'm a virgin, and I don't use doctors. Guess I should have stated that before.

Answer 1

Maybe you are dehydrated.

When I was a teen, I would pass 'clotty periods' or periods where the blood is more brownish and 'thick' than dark red.

My first instinct is to keep well hydrated. Drink more water than usual when you have a period. Make sure you are not anemic(which can be accompanied by a lethargy, feeling a little weak or tired, sometimes seeing spots or feeling dizzy).

It is always good to make your mom aware of anything that is unusual. I am a mom of a teen and I have never regretted her telling me anything--whether really serious of not. Sometimes, just by experience, I may know a little more about when to consult a physician.

Keep up the good work on being observant about anything out of the ordinary and taking care of yourself.

Answer 2

How Long and How Much?
The amount of time that a girl has her period also can vary. Some girls have periods that last just 2 or 3 days; other girls may have periods that last 7 days or longer. The menstrual flow — meaning how much blood comes out of the vagina — can vary widely from person to person, too. Some girls have such light blood flow that they wonder if they even have their period at all.

Other girls may be concerned that they're losing too much blood. It can be a shock to see all that blood, but it's highly unlikely that a girl will lose too much: For most girls an entire period consists of anywhere from a few spoonfuls to less than 1/2 cup (118 milliliters) of blood — it just looks like a lot! It is possible for a girl to lose an excessive amount of blood during her period, but it's not at all common. (In some cases, a girl can bleed too much because she has a medical condition — such as von Willebrand disease.) The amount of blood a girl loses and how long her period lasts can differ from month to month.

If you're worried about your blood flow or whether your period is normal in other ways, talk to a doctor or nurse. Some changes in menstrual periods can be normal — but only a doctor can help determine the cause of irregular, heavy, painful periods, or no periods at all.

Answer 3

It is normal occasionally. Usually during the first day or two (this is typically when you lose your unfertilized eggs.) But if it's alot like if you soak a pad/tampon more than once an hour you may want to have your mom take you to a gyno, just as a checkup. You can never be too careful.

Answer 4

Unless the clots are larger than baseballs, honey don't worry. It is not uncommon for the blood from a menstrual cycle to clot.

Answer 5

Yes, in a lot of cases, it is the norm. That blood is the dying tissue that lines the uterus and with it comes the tissue lining, the clots and so on. I would still have it checked out with your MD.

Answer 6

While blood clotting is normal during a period...ur case seems to be of concern....go tell ur mom plzzzzz

Answer 7

no need to worry. blood clots are tissue - theres no guarantee what size every clot is supposed to be. ive had the same situation a few months ago, dont worry about it, you'll be fine

Answer 8

You are obviously not very old, the reason I say this is that some women experience this before the menopause. If I were you I would tell your mother.

Answer 9

I would go see a doctor before confronting anyone else. Let the professionals handle that.

Answer 10

don't worry, those are blood clots and part of the shedding of the womb.
