Patient's question:
My mother has experienced this repeatedly. She had a heavy blood flow once. All her tests have come back normal. Now she has her period again, with a lot of blood and clots. She cannot get out of bed. What should we do? Is this normal? What medication should she take? How should it be treated? The hospitals here have not been able to help her.First follow-up question: She had a color Doppler ultrasound and various routine tests. The ultrasound also showed no abnormalities. The doctor said to wait until the bleeding stops and then do a "biopsy" or something to check for cancer.
Doctor's answer:
If the menstrual cycle is affected by cold, blood clots may also appear. Therefore, women should pay attention to keeping warm during their period. However, if blood clots persist for a long time, it may indicate the possibility of uterine fibroids. However, young people generally do not have this issue. If you are still concerned, you can also get checked. Generally, drinking some warm brown sugar water can help alleviate symptoms of blood clots during menstruation if the period is not exposed to cold.
