Health question for the girls

[Anonymous]

I have been getting blood clots when I have my period, and crazy intense cramps ..is something wrong with me ..?

Its completely normal. When our flow is stronger and faster, our anti-coagulants don’t have the time to prevent blood from clotting because the blood moves to fast and there is too much of it. That's what causes the bad cramping at the same time.. don't worry about it. Just make sure you take an iron supplement.

get a pair of medical stockings from a local drug store and wear them around the house. I would also think about seeing a doctor. having blood clots can be dangerous. it can lead to other problems.

Blood clots are normal. How bad cramps are depends on the girl. If taking something like ibuprofen doesn't help them at all, see your doctor.

All I had was midol and that was at lunch time, but thanks for the advice

go talk to a professional or a doctor. they most likely are way more usefull than other non medical professionals on this site.

You're taking birth control. Talk to your Ob/Gyn.

[Asker]

Im not on birth control

[OutOfMyElement43]

Make sure you see your Ob/Gyn. I doubt you have a serious problem. It's probably hormones but definately see your Ob/Gyn.
