Large chunks/clots of blood during period?

Question

For the past few months during my period I've been passing large chunks/clot looking things. I don't bleed heavy, but when I pass these chunks/clots I can fill a pad with blood in no time at all. I do pass a chunk or so every hour for only ONE day and then i'll have very little to no more period following. What could it be?

Answer 1

Hi, I get this all the time during every period and my doctor says there is absolutely nothing wrong with me so I can only say that according to my doctor it's quite normal. I do have very heavy eriods so women with lih=ghter periods probably won't experience this. I know it's a bit yukky but when you think about it our period is simply the wall lining of our wombs coming away - I guess that it just clots for some of us hence the 'jelly' like dark clumps. If however this is a new development for you then you would be wise to talk it over with your doctor. I get it every month so i guess that's normal for me. If you periods change for whatever reason you should talk it over with the doc just to put your mind at ease. We women never get it easy do we lol!

You may be experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding if you're having to change pads or tampons more often than every one or two hours, or having a period that lasts over seven days. Menstruation is often irregular or heavy during these times because, depending on hormonal levels, the ovaries may or may not release an egg. Another common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding is fibroid tumours. Other causes of excessive bleeding that your doctor should consider include: cervical or endometrial polyps, lupus, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), cervical cancer, endometrial cancer. Women using intrauterine devices (IUDs) for birth control, may also experience excessive or prolonged periods. If you experience menorrhagia while using an IUD, the IUD should be removed and replaced with an alternative birth control method. Usually detected soon after menstruation begins, platelet disorders are the most common blood disorder which causes excessive bleeding; the most common platelet disorder is von Willebrand's disease. Women with von Willebrand's disease commonly will experience not only heavy menstrual bleeding, but nosebleeds, easy bruising, and blood in the stool.
As in all cases when detailed medical information is required, you would be advised to consult your doctor or gynaecologist.

Well, I had the same thing happened to me twice. I talked to someone about it, and well, I though I had a miscarriage. This thing lasted for 5 hours and yeah, i was panicking so I told my husband to take me to the hospital. I had problems before with my period since it would come one month, and some months it wouldn't come, so the doctor told me that it was probably just residue that had been there from past periods, and that they were coming out. I would suggest for you to go to the doctor, and just get checked out. Yeah, we are here to share our advice, but it's better for you to get checked out, so a professional can reassure you that nothing is wrong. Good luck to you.

the time to go a Gynaecologist he/she may put u on the pill to regulate r period, my niece had the same problem when she started, and on the pill she went at 13 yrs old. U should go to your
Dr., maybe he/she can help, but a G.Y.N. would be better to see
what this heavy flow is about.
Good-Luck,

This is your womb lining . I had same problem but lasted for 7 days. I had surgery which cauterized my womb. Now I have no periods - wonderful. See a doctor. I have children. This surgery denies motherhood.

Answer 9

dude it is PERFECTLY normal to get it. i do too...those chunks are just parts of the inner lining of your uterus. every month before you have your period, your body saves up blood and nutrients on the inner lining. if you do not become pregnant within that month, your body expells it. it is rather disgusting....when i forst started getting my period i noticed it too and i was silly and thought it was like a thing...lol.

Answer 10
