Large blood clots during period

[Princess_11]

Hey Ladies,

Pending TMI but I guess this whole forum is just that lol.

I get really large clots during my period. The excretion of the clots is probably one of the main causes of the pain I get whilst I’m on.

I have Adenomyosis which I know causes this but is there anything that can be done to reduce clots?

Like surely it shouldn’t be normal to regularly pass clots twice the size of a 50p coin whilst on your period 🤔

If anyone has any tips please share

Thanks x

Hi, I don’t have any tips but I am the same and also have adenomyosis. I was thinking this last month that it can’t be normal!

I hope someone has some advice

Hi there,

Sorry to hear this. Always always check with your doctor, but when I started getting large clots, tranexamic acid helped up to a point, but let your doctor know as sometimes it indicates changes in whatever is happening internally-in my case lots of fibroids in addition to eno and adenomyosis, which was increasing my blood flow.

Your GP can refer you back to hospital, so always keep your foot on the gas if you are ever worried.

All the best x

Large clots made me severe anemic, I had no symptoms for anemia so be careful. I got them under control with norethisteron till surgery.

I've never heard of norethisteron. I'll look into it. Thanks x

Hi, sorry to hear this, I've also suffered from very large clots causing anemia, and was also prescribed tranexamic acid to reduce them, definitely speak with your GP for help. Best of luck x
