What is a blood clot in consideration of a menstrual period? i have my period and i fainted yesterday, my mum said its probably a blood clot?

Clotting: Women tend to pass clots frequently during their periods. I doubt you fainted due to that. There may have been another reason. If you're known to have heavy periods, it is advisable to be checked for anemia to make sure you don't have that.
