My periods have never been normal. I had my first period when I was just 10 years old and then I never got it again until I was 14 and then I would get it and it would skip 2 months and then I'd get it again. Now at 26, I might be regular for 3 months straight and then I won't get it for 4 months and then get it and with a lot of clots and then get it for 6 months on time, every time, but again there are a lot of clots. What is causing this?

Menstrual discharge is comprised mostly of blood [about 2/3]. The remaining 1/3 is mucous, fragments of uterine lining [the endometrium], and cells from the vaginal lining. What you are experiencing is perfectly normal in terms of the clots, but in terms of the irregularity, you should talk to your doc. Good luck.

Dark, chunky clots of blood can be perfectly normal. Many women get them during their menstrual period when they have days of heavy cramping and heavy bleeding. Your body usually makes things called "anti-coagulants," that keep your blood from clotting as it moves to your vagina and out of your body. But during days of heavy bleeding and cramping, your body is pushing blood so quickly out of you that your body does not have time to release these anti-coagulants. Your blood then clots. If you have clots that are bigger than a quarter, it is a good idea to talk with your health care provider.

Endometriosis occurs when endometrial tissue, the tissue that lines the uterus and is shed during menstruation, grows outside of the uterus—on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, ligaments supporting the uterus, and other areas in the pelvic cavity. Your doctor may recommend treating your endometriosis with surgical therapy (surgically removing or destroying endometrial growths), or medical therapy (reducing growth size and providing symptom relief). In many cases, your doctor may suggest a combination of surgical and medical therapy.

clots are normal, maybe because of hormonal changes & imbalances during menstruation period, or the food you eat.. i think you need to have a check up because of the irregularity of your period
