A member asked:

What is the cause of blood clotting during menstration?

A doctor has provided 1 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
