\n

Most often, passing small blood clots during your period isn’t a cause for concern. The amount, length and frequency of menstrual bleeding vary from month to month and from person to person.<\/p>\n

But if you pass large blood clots that are bigger than a grape, seek medical care. Large blood clots can be part of a heavy period, which may be a sign of a serious medical issue. When a period is heavier than usual, it also might cause you to soak through one pad or tampon every hour for many hours in a row.<\/p>\n

Your doctor or care team member can find out if a medical problem is the cause. You might need a blood test to check for anemia, a condition that can cause you to feel weak or tired. You also might need other exams, such as an ultrasound of the pelvis.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, hormonal medicines are used to control heavy menstrual bleeding. Certain other medicines also may help.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
