Hi, for the past 5 or 6 months I have been
passing blood clots whilst on my period
these are not painful or unduly large and
my periods are not any heavier or any more
painful and are still as regular as
clockwork, I would just like to know if
this is quite normal and if anybody else
out there has experienced the same I am 39
and would like to hear what anyone has to
say on this topic

Sounds like endometriosis. See the
doctor. It can spread all over and do a
lot of damage.

Thanks for your replys but I can
definitely rule endo, my periods are not
heavy they only last about 4 days and
apart from the clots which are not to bad
I have absolutely no other symptoms, I
have since mentioned it to a few friends
of mine and they said they have
experienced clots sometimes, but best of
all my doctor said that it just means my
womb lining is thick enough to form clots
some months. I appreciate your responses
though

I used to pass clots. Not usually very
large ones, and it was never painful.
I just had a hysterectomy and can tell you
that I did not have endo, or adenomyosis.
I did, however, have a polyp - which can
cause heavy bleeding and sometimes
bleeding between cycles. They don't
always cause pain and can be easily
removed with a d&c or ablation (unless
you want to have kids).
I also had fibroids. Fibroids can cause
clots by causing the lining uterus to be
folded so that pockets of blood sit for a
while and clot before being passed. These
are often painless. They can be treated
with uterine artery embolization or if
they're smaller with laproscopic surgery.
Please check with your doctor at your next
gyno appt.
