Blood clots in my periods
Hi I'm 17 and I have a period every month and it lasts 2-3 weeks and it finishes for about a week and then starts again but I keep having blood clots in my period and my periods are heavy. Cancer runs in my family and I'm wondering if I should be worried about it or if it's nothing to worry about? Thanks x
Clotting is normal but periods that long isnt unless ur on birth control it can cause that but birth control is suppose to do the opposite and make u have shorter periods sp if u are on bc it could be the wrong one for u and talk to ur dr. About othet choices
I would get checked out. The clots aren't really something to worry about, but they shouldn't last more than a week. It may be as simple as a hormonal imbalance that they can fix with some pills, but you need to get checked out.
