Blood Clots during Period. It is normal to pass blood clots during menses, as along with the blood the thickened lining of the uterus is also being shed and expelled outside the body. In case the abnormal blood clots during period occur, visit your gynecologist as it may then be an indication of other serious medical illnesses.
If your menstrual flow is of average volume it is probable that you may have some actual blood clots. These clots are usually quite small and typically dark red to almost black in color. The clots are small because there is only a moderate amount of blood lost that needs to clot. The clots are dark in color because the blood has been sitting in the uterus for awhile before it comes out in your menstrual flow. If you are having a heavy menstrual flow your blood clots will appear very different. First of all these clots will be bigger because there is a larger amount of blood sitting in the uterus that needs to clot. Secondly, these clots are usually a much brighter red.
