A member asked:

How many small blood clots are considered normal to pass when having your period? alway a few when changing soaked super after 4hrs

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Variable: The amount of blood lost during menstruation is variable. Presence of clots usually means heavy bleeding. You should take oral iron supplements and a multivitamin daily to avoid anemia from iron deficiency.
