Clotting During Menstruation
Posted: 02-15-04 19:07pm

Lately, I have had a couple of periods where there has been more clotting than just regular bleeding and between periods I have had clear clotting. There is no pain or odor and I was just wondering if this is normal or if it could be a problem. I just had a check up about 6 months ago and my pap smear was normal.

Could you be preg??? I mean I understand your getting your period, but it has happened where women still get their period.

Sorry to suggest this but it could also be that you were pregnant & miscarried without knowing about either situation & that there is still some foetal matter there. I would seea dr & get it checked.

I have had clotting during menustration for quite a long time some of it was down to an ovarian cyst which wasnt discovered until I had a scan but other times I was told this can happen and as long as there is no pain or smell or any other symptoms it could be just heavy periods, if you are worried I suggest you seek medical advice. Take care. Ps: my clotting eased when I started taking an evening primrose capsule every day, it took a month to work.

I am definitely not regnant nor was i. I forgot to mention. I am 46, had my tubes tied when I was 25. I'll try the primrose capsule and see if that works. I was just wondering if any other women had had the same problem and maybe had some ideas abut why.

I have been having clots during my periods for quite a few years now....My Dr. Said it was quite normal during perimenopause.You say you are 46?I'd say it's normal,but if you're concerned,talk to your doctor.

Clots And Heavy Bleeding
Posted: 10-11-04 21:59pm

Hi,
have you had recent pelvic exam,ultrasound,or pap smear. This has happened to me,and I have fibroids,which are benign tumors in uterus,and can make you bleed heavily. Sometimes they will shrink and go away on their own,or sometimes,you need a hysterectomy,or have them removed.

Without pain or other symptoms like heavy bleeding, it's probably nothing to be concerned about. But any change in your normal cycle should mean seeing a doctor.

I passed clots for 20 years without pain, my doctor said it wasn't a problem. The only thing that brought relief was bcp, but those brought their own problems. Without a foul odor or fever, it's probably nothing bad. It could be polyps or fibroids. Polyps can be treated with a d&c, fibroids can be removed surgically.

Personally, it sounds to me like polyps. My doctor also suggested oil of evening primrose.

Give your doctor a call and make an appointment. Let us know how it turns out.

Take care.

Hi. I'm having a problem with clotting, too. After two missed periods I started spotting this past weekend, put it was more clots than blood. They are really large, and black. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? I'm going to a gyn on friday, but if anyone has any ideas, i'd love to hear them, so I can ask then;)

thanks.

Clotting
Posted: 10-24-04 23:37pm

After my third child, my periods had gotten more painful, lasting longer, and I started clotting. I talked to my obgyn and he talked me into having a procedure called novasure done. It is where the lining of your uterus is burned out (endometrium lining) that makes you have your period. Ever since I had it done, my periods have been less painful, no clotting and very short. I am glad I had it done. It is definately something to talk to your obgyn about if you are done having children and your periods are bad.
I am glad I did it!
