hi...I am a nursing student...so I am in no way an expert. but from
what I have learned in my classes (anatomy and phys, biophys, and
pathophys) menstral blood is suppose to be about 90 percent
water...therefore any amount of clotting is abnormal, and should be
discussed with your doctor. I too have huge clots...and my dr doesn't
seem to care. she writes it in my chart, but doesn't comment about it
further. I continue to tell her no matter what...so I will keep it up
so I know it is in my chart that I have these clots...persistant
patients make the best patients. I have earned a lot of respect from my
dr becaue I am a persistant patient. she now listens to me and takes
action if I know a particular medicine isn't working...I have learned in
life, that if you are persistant and passionate in all you do, you will
be noted for that. good luck in your health.
