Question 1

can my period blood clots come out as pink? and could it still be considered tissue? i'm also on my third day of my period?

Accepted Answer

Clot: Blood clots are usually brownish in color, unless you are anemic, which you may be. Clots during menstrual bleeding usually indicate excessive blood loss. Take oral iron and multivitamins to address anemia. Your doctor can prescribe pill that can limit your period to one in 3-12 months.

: If the onset of the period was normal it seems unlikely based on what you describe that you would be pregnant. The difficulty sleeping and headaches are probably a completely separate issue and should be evaluated by a healthcare worker

Question 8

what is a blood clot in consideration of a menstrual period? i have my period and i fainted yesterday, my mum said its probably a blood clot?

Accepted Answer

Clotting: Women tend to pass clots frequently during their periods. I doubt you fainted due to that. There may have been another reason. If you're known to have heavy periods, it is advisable to be checked for anemia to make sure you don't have that.

Question 9

what causes the big blood clots when i'm on my period?

Accepted Answer

Too much tissue : Build up or abnormal tissue build up or fibroid or polyps or pre- cancer or cancer or hormones not regulated , at your age u should not be having big blood clots so please go see yoru gyn for a work-up.

Question 10

where do blood clots come from? i always wondered that, i'm on my period now and just changed my pad and it had some blood blots on it. why does this happen?

Accepted Answer

Blood should clot: Blood is meant to clot. Some people have bleeding problems because they can't clot their blood. The vagina is elastic and can hold a lot of blood. If it collects for a while like when you are sitting or laying down, it will have time to form clots. When you get up or bear down like when in the bathroom this can force the clots out. Can be alarming but is normal.
