The sight of blood clots, when you have your period, can be quite alarming and you may not want to seek medical attention for such a personal ailment. In most cases menstrual clotting is normal and may be accompanied by stomach cramping.
The presence of blood clots may only be an indication of heavy periods which is known as menorrhagia. Excessive bleeding during a period may cause the formation of blood clots and this alone is not always a cause for concern unless the heavy bleeding leads to other complications such as anemia. However, if the bleeding is excessive and prolonged and you have been passing large clots too frequently, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor.
