Question : i currently have my period and am on day 2 and while on the toliet i passed a clot, it was about the size of half an egg. is this normal? should i be worried? why does this happen? thanks
Hello,
Thanks for the question.
This looks pretty normal, if its 2nd day of our periods.
I don’t think you should be worried, if there are no other symptoms.
This happens if some blood remains stagnated to pass off later in form of bigger clot.
Hope this answers your question.
Regards
