A member asked:

My menstrual clots are as big as limes! what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing: The amount of clotting and flow is very dependent on individual factors about the amount of endometrail build up during your cycle. if it is excessive and bothersome, you can address it with your doctor and discuss regulating it with birth control pills.
