Hi

I wondered if someone could help please....

last month out of the blue 4 days into my period I started losing blood clots.... as I stood up I felt what I thought was a gush of blood but when I went to the toilet it was actually a huge blood clot, it was around half an inch wide and about 3 inches long then I lost about another 7 over 2 days that were around the size of golf balls. I ended up going to a&e in the advise of 111.... they were not interested as my hb and other blood markers were all within range so I thought I would wait to see if it happened with this months period.... and it has! But this time 2 days into my period.... I have lost around 4 golf size blood clots and a couple of small ones. I contacted my gp on Wednesday who said he wanted to send me for a scan... then this morning I had a phone call for an appointment for an internal ultrasound next Wednesday. I haven’t had pain as such the only different that I have noticed is a pulling pressure sensation in the bottom of my tummy when I’m on my period and when I sometimes empty my bladder i feel a pressure like feeling. Has anyone has these symptoms before? I was thinking fibroids but the gp said that fibroids would come on gradually not so drastically but everyone is different. Has anyone got any advise please x

I know I’m not a dr. Did you ever tough it? I know it sounds gross. But touch to see if it’s in the shape or very thick blood like hard. I was told that if it is coming out it’s good. It’s blood shed from uterus. But I’m not a dr. Just making convo

I’d book to see another. Virtual dr.

It’s possible there could be a connection between clot loss, and bladder issues due to pressure. But, you should know for certain after the internal ultrasound. It is known that fibroids can remain small and cause no trouble, or enlarge seemingly quickly.

Pelvic Discomfort Women with large fibroids may feel heaviness or pressure in their lower abdomen or pelvis. Often this is described as a vague discomfort rather than a sharp pain. Sometimes, the enlarged uterus makes it difficult to lie face down, bend over or exercise without discomfort.
