Why are blood clots during your periods bad?

Answer 1

my doctor told me it's normal nothing to worry about. The clots are the tissues that are being shed from the uterus many women pass clots during their period as long as they aren't the size of an egg your fine hope this helps... Hello there -

This is very common hun. Each period is individual just like the woman is. Some women never have any blood clots during their periods while others always have blood clots. So don't be alarmed. :o)

Answer 2

If the clots are not quite heavy and come in long intervals like after 4hours or so, then it is simply old blood leaving your body, but if they are regular for instance when you laugh, cough or sneeze you feel them come out and it makes you feel a maxi pad in less than 2hrs, then you need to be checked just incase something serious is happening.

Answer 3

There are different reasons that a woman may be passing blood clots after their period. It could be fibroid tumors, endometriosis, or another female issue. It is best to talk to a gynecologist to find out exactly what is going on.

Answer 4

You actually don't clot during menstruation, at least not that much, because menstrualblood doesn't clot like normal blood - if it did it'd be detrimental to the whole process. The clot-looking things that you see in your menstrual flow is the larger pieces of your uterus lining.

Answer 5

because before have your period your uterus skin builds up and then when you get your period it sheds off and that makes those clumps

Answer 6

Because your body is getting all the bad blood cells out.. It's a good thing.
