No: Excessive bleeding - soaking pads and passing clots-- is not normal and should be evaluated by your gynecologist. There are a variety of causes and multiple treatment options depending on your age, medical issues and fertility plans.

Excess menses: Excessive menstrual periods can be of two types. 1.) Prolonged bleeding in excess of 7 -10 days duration. 2). Rapid menstrual bleeding exceeding 3 pads in 30 minutes. Both of these types of bleeding warrant a GYN MD evaluation as anemia can rapidly ensue.
