Period Blood Clots: Symptoms, Causes and What's Normal

If you are seeing blood clots during menstruation that are larger than the size of a small coin, then you must book an appointment with a doctor at the earliest. Abnormally large blood clots can be an indicator of uterine fibroids. Smaller sized blood clots are usually caused by the coagulation of blood as it sits in the uterus or vagina and that is completely normal.

If you see stringy blood clots during periods along with dark coloured period blood, it simply signifies old period blood. Stringy clots are simply a type of blood clot and are completely normal.

It is very common to experience thick period blood with a jelly-like consistency at any time during your period. This is caused by blood clots passing through your body and is completely normal.
