Masses of Thickened Blood in Menstrual Bleeding: Conclusions
If your periods are regular, moderately painful, but occasionally you have clots in your menstrual discharge, it’s not a reason to panic. However, in order to make sure there are no hidden inflammatory processes in your reproductive tract or other serious diseases, such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids or others, have a blood test of coagulation after your period and do the ultrasound check.
As you see, there are at least 7 explanations why coagulums may occur in your discharge during menstruation. Besides, very often the main culprit of woman’s “sorrows” is the hormonal imbalance. Normal body functioning in females relies on a fragile balance between 2 hormones – estrogen and progesterone. They regulate production and separation processes in endometrium. When this balance is impaired, endometrial lining can become thickened, which in its turn causes more abundant monthly bleeding as well as clots formation.
