Period blood clots are a normal part of your menstrual cycle. But when you notice any changes to the size and amount, it could point to an underlying condition. When speaking to your doctor, be prepared with the following information:
How long your period usually lasts.
How heavy your usual flow is.
If you’ve been bleeding between periods.
If you’ve noticed changes over time.
If you’ve been experiencing pain.
If there’s a chance you might be pregnant.
A list of medications you are currently on.
A list of other medical conditions.
Expect your doctor to do a pelvic exam. They may also want to do a blood test, a pap test or an ultrasound during your visit.
After an exam and testing, your doctor may prescribe the following based on the results, how severe the clots are and your other symptoms:
Contraceptives (birth control).
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Tranexamic acid.
Hormonal therapy.
Antifibrinolytic medicine.
Surgery.
