What Causes Light Period Followed By Blood Clump Discharge?

So, I had my period a week and a half ago, and it was very light (mainly spotting). This morning, I woke up and had clumps of blood and it was dark blood coming out. What does this mean? Could it have potentially been a miscarriage? I had no other symptoms of pregnancy.

Hi,

A light period followed by clumps of blood and dark blood can be a symptom of various conditions, including hormonal imbalances, infections, or structural abnormalities. It's important to speak with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and receive appropriate treatment.

It's possible that the clumps of blood could be a sign of a miscarriage, but it's important to note that not all cases of clumps of blood are related to a miscarriage. Other symptoms of a miscarriage may include cramping, heavy bleeding, and passing tissue.

If you are concerned about the possibility of a miscarriage, it's important to speak with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and receive appropriate treatment. They may recommend a pregnancy test or other diagnostic tests to help determine the cause of your symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nikhil Aggarwal, General & Family Physician
