What Causes Sudden Unusual Heavy Menstruation With Large Blood Clots?
Hi there, I m an 18 year old girl and I ve started to have a heavy period recently, it s been more than a week, around 9 days and I m still sort of bleeding heavily with large blot clots. I also have a fast heart beat sometimes and not very tired, but I do feel a bit tired. I haven t ever had this before, so I m sort of worried. I also have a stress factor since I am giving my final exams these days. Please let me know what the issue is, thanks!

Hi,
Unless you have pregnancy with abortion. Your symptoms suggest functional uterine hemorrhage due to hormonal imbalance caused by your psychological stress. Please consult a gynecologist. After excluding possible abortion. You would be given treatment for the imbalance.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
