A member asked:
Is clotting with a heavy menstrual cycle normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Heavy bleeding with clotting usually indicates a arteriole (bright red) bleeding and not normal venous(dark red) bleeding. The clots also confirm that the bleeding is coming very rapidly. Get to your GYN MD when you can so that anemia does not develop.
