Hi,

Passing blood clots during menstruation can be normal. The amount, length and frequency of menstrual bleeding vary from month to month and from woman to woman.

However, passing large blood clots may be a sign that something's wrong. As of now, you can take drugs like tranexamic acid to control bleeding. If symptoms persist you can consult a gynaecologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
