Why does menstrual bleeding have blood clots? Is it normal?-Dr.Shalini Varma of Cloudnine Hospitals

When a lady in her menstrual phase the blood that comes out is the lining of the uterus which is called as the endometrium along with shedding of the blood vessels that have been formed in the menstrual cycle. As a protective phenomenal by the body itself, certain proteins called as the prostaglandins are released in the lining of the uterine canal. This is to reduce the bleeding and to keep it under control. When a lady bleeds more than what is normal, this is what we call excessive bleeding or menorrhagia or excessive bleeding during periods, the amount of bleeding is more than what these coagulatory system can control. Hence the woman produces larger clots that what can be controlled, along with the menstrual flow. Small clots are part of normal cycle but bigger clots making the patient uncomfortable and painful. The pain during menses is called as dysmenorrhea, which is worsening with each periods can be pathological. In such cases we have to investigate what are the causes. It can be anything related to the uterus like large fibroids, or adenomyosis where the bleeding is excessive or it can be related to ovarian factors were the ovarian cysts can cause these. Even thyroid related problems can cause excessive clotting and heavy bleeding.

My periods are fiesty but still try to behave descently in my respect I guess. Sometimes they come in 20 days sometimes in 73 days. I once got my periods after 4 months. That was the time the pain was impossibly beyond the universe. These days the pain has been fine. Painkillers work well other times i dotn even need to take tablets. I like to dance and exercise even on periods, pain isn't that bad for me. So I guess that's the respect my periods show to me 😅

Everyone in the comments seems to be just starting their period and I can assure you everything’s gonna be okay a couple clots and all types of bleeding from heavy to light is normal everyone is totally different it’s only a problem if you have severe pain that lasts over like 10 days and you’re still bleeding heavy that’s not normal and you should ask to go to the doctor. If anyone has any other questions just ask I’ve had my period for many years now so I think I am qualified to answer your questions don’t be scared If you need any help:)
