Question 7

what could cause random blood clotting without being on your period?

Accepted Answer

Retained blood: Most clots passed from the vagina are accumulations of small amounts of blood over time, like overnight or caught in a fold of the vagina, before passing, with a patients increased physical activity.
The blood may be from "break through uterine bleeding", a lesion or sore on the cervix, or something from the vaginal wall.
All abnormal bleeding should be evaluated.

Question 8

if i have spot of bright red blood on tissue in morning, do i have blood clotting problems?

Not necessarily: The bleeding can be caused from a number of different things, sometimes a bleeding disorder--however that is rare.  Your doctor would need to examine you to see what is causing the bleeding and exactly where it is originating.

Question 9

what is the cause of blood clotting during menstration?

Accepted Answer

Clotting factors: Your blood contains clotting factors that allow you to clot after your endometrial lining has been shed. THis prevents you from losing endless blood and controls the amount of bleeding you experience

Question 10

how are blood coagulation and blood clotting different?

Accepted Answer

Same thing: Clotting and coagulation are used as synonims. A hematologist could beg to differ, but otherwise used as absolute synonims.
