A member asked:
My periods are usually heavy but for the past 3 cycles theyve been very light with a lot of blood clots , what is the purpose of blood clots ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may be normal: Many women can have clots during their periods at times and it is not so unusual.Clots are nothing but but blood which for some reason got clotted before it was expelled from the vagina.As long as the periods are regular than i see no problems with that.If you still have concern check with your gynecologist at next visit.
