Heavy periods can be due to hormonal imbalances, cervical or endometrial polyps, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, fibroids, underactive thyroid disease, PCOD etc. You may need tests like pelvic scan, pap smear and hormonal assay .A clinical examination and evaluation is important for detecting the exact cause of your symptoms .Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Do consult a gynecologist.

717676 tn?1230081830 I'm not sure what to do about the large amount of blood clots. I honestly can't remember them being a problem for me. My periods now are pretty normal but I have had them in the past where I would have to change my tampon every hour because the bleeding was so heavy but this would only last for a day then it would slow down. I'm not sure how to describe it but it's almost like it builds up a day then boom it hit me all at once.

Im just very confussed and concerned. I cant be pregnant cause my tubes are tied.

Avatar f tn The pain that you describe when removing your tampon, may be because it was a lighter day and the tampon was too large for the blood flow. Make sure that you use the smallest tampon you can for the menstrual flow that day.

Avatar m tn t worry too much blood clots and heavy periods are a common thing, but nothing you can do to stop it unless you get on birth control to stabilize your periods ask your doctor about it
Avatar f tn They are heavy usually have to change my tampon every 3 hours with no leaking nothing with Lil clots. Some times the blood would be darker then usual. But the one I'm on now is very very heavy I'm bleeding through a tampon every hour hour and a half I have to wear a pad as well very bad cramps. Bright red. And the clots like always. Is this something serious.
Avatar f tn I got my period this morning and i noticed that i have a lot of really big blood clots. The first few were just on my tampon when i took it out but then i had several large ones that when i took my tampon out the fell into the toilet. Ive never had this before. My medical history that has to do with my mentrual cycle is i have a history of ovarian cysts. None of them have been severe but have been painful to the point where they have landed me in the hospital.
