A member asked:

Since a miscarriage 2 yrs ago my periods have become excruciating with heavy bright red blood and huge thumb size clots either dark red or fleshy? why

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reason: It may not be related to your miscarriage. Many women in their forties begin having ovulation issues leading to heavy and painful periods. Probably time to see your GYN for an evaluation. This could be adenomyosis as well.
