Should I worry about large blood clots?


up untill this year my period had always been a normal flow, but for the past couple of months I have skipped my period or I get it really late or light pink/brown and them it goes away lasting only 3 days. I was recently hospitalized and while in the hospital iI started to stain but them it when away and came back two weeks later which is today, but I just went to the bathroom to pee and when I sat I heard how something hit the water, I looked and it was a large clot!!! What the heck this has never happened to me before, I am freaked because of the size. ( I was in the Hospital for 4 days could the IV or antibiotics caused this?

I don't think being in the hospital had anything to do with what's going on with you.

I think you need to make an appointment with a gynecologist and discuss with them what is going on with you because it isn't normal.

I often pass large clots on my period. They say if you pass one that's bigger that a half dollar you need to see the doctor.

Having been on my trying to conceive sites, I know a lot of women pass huge clots and it's just normal for them.

A few cycles ago, I myself passed a huge one, the size of a snickers bar. Yikes!!!!

yes

Were you on a strict bedrest in the hospital or allowed to move around?

It sounds like a lot of blood that "rested" in the uterus...or perhaps your visit was so stressful your menses stopped and this is the result of the buildup.

I wouldn't worry unless you pass more like this or start experiencing abdominal pain or excess bleeding, etc.

I used to pass clots the size of a mouse!!! It started in my late 30s and continued until I no longer had periods. (Thank goodness!)

it could be. But i would go the the gynecologist and get check out ..
