You should see your gynecologist to rule out any possible conditions that are causing your abnormal period.
Uterine fibroids and hormonal changes are two problems that can cause abnormal clots to form in your menstrual flow.
Uterine fibroids are also called leiomyomas. These non-cancerous tumors form in the uterus. Fibroids do not always cause symptoms, but, some women notice greater than usual amounts of menstrual blood with more clots than in the past.
The menstrual cycle is under the control of a delicate balance of the hormones, progesterone and estrogen. When this balance is disturbed. it can lead to the development of an excessively thick uterine lining. This thickness can contribute to more bleeding than usual. It can also cause clots in the menstrual blood when the lining is shed.
