Should I be worried if I see clots in my blood?
No need to be worried! Blood clots the size of a quarter or less are perfectly normal and rarely cause for concern.
People may worry if they notice clots in their menstrual blood, but this is perfectly normal and rarely cause for concern. Blood clots are a natural part of the body’s defense mechanism. The thick, jelly-like texture of a menstrual clot helps prevent too much blood from escaping. Clots less than the size of a quarter are normal. However, some medical conditions can cause large blood clots, often alongside heavy menstrual bleeding or period pains. Although it is not usually concerning, refer to a doctor if you are concerned about any period-related issues or irregularities.
