Question 1

what can cause large blood clots?

Accepted Answer

Blood: Large amount of blood will cause large clots.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 2

what can cause large blood clots during menstration?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but ...: During menstruation, it is normal to pass some smaller clots (say, dime sized). However, if you are bleeding profusely or passing large clots, consider visiting a doctor for an evaluation of your heavy menstruation. Hormones, fibroids, polyps are common causes. A pelic exam and ultrasound are the next steps. Treatment options will depend on your future fertility plans.

Question 3

Question 4

a large blood clot developed after my gingivectomy.  what should i do? should i remove it?

Large blood clot: No! Don't remove it as it may induce more bleeding. "Large" to you may still be within normal limits. Call your dentist for advice. He/she may or may not want to see you to evaluate it in person.

Question 5

is it normal to have large blood clots and no cramping?

Accepted Answer

It can be: Clots can happen due to pooling of old blood in the vaginal vault. That can happen and not cause pain.

Question 6

when im on a period i pass atleast 12 large blood clots?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: Passing a lot of blood clots while you are on your period isn't normal.  I would definitely recommend you see a gynecologist and discuss this.  Could be due to hormonal issues, thyroid problems, weight issues (thin/heavy).  But that seems like too much bleeding for someone your age.  Rarely heavy menstrual bleeding due to vonwillebrand.  Get a check up so you'll know.  Take care.

Question 7

i constantly get bloody noses with large blood clots coming out is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No: See your doctor. Is it a bleeding problem? Are you on blood thinners, do you have frequent bruising? If you don't have a doctor, go to an urgent care clinic, or an emergency department.

Question 8

i have heavy, long periods and i have a lot of large blood clots, is this common?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you feel fatigued check with your doctor to get screened for blood loss anemia.  If that is occurring you may need birth control pills to lighten your periods.  They also make bcp with iron.  Iuds can cause heavier periods.  If you have one use another form of birth control when you get it removed. Weight loss can occasionally help with having lighter periods if you are overweight.

Question 9

i'm having a really heavy lochia and large blood clots bigger. the blood is bright red?

Accepted Answer

Call your Dr: Are you post partum?  How long ago did you deliver?  If you are bleeding heavier than a period, you need to call your doctor.
