A member asked:

I have heard that big clots on period are not good if so how big are 2 big and what clouds it signal. not sexually active.. still virgin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not to worry: A lot of women get pre-occupied with clots. It is essentially irrelevant. When you have minor oozing bleeding in the uterine cavity, the blood collects inside and forms a clot. When the clot is big enough, the uterus contracts and expels the clot. If you were bleeding too heavily, the blood would not have time to clot!
