Suggest Remedies For Severe Menstrual Bleeding With Clots After Quitting Smoking
Question: hi i quit smoking about 2 months ago and didnt have a period last month but finally started one this month. i have now been bleeding heavy for 5 days and passing clots, they started out bout the size of quarter, now they are bigger and more often. is this normal?
Brief Answer:
Consult Gynecologist for internal examination and ultrasound
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns.
This heavy bleeding is not normal. If you are sexually active the first thing to be ruled out is pregnancy.
If you are not sexually active then this heavy bleeding could be due to hormonal imbalance. There is also a possibility of
1. Endometrial polyp ( growth of lining of uterus)
2. Endometrial hyperplasia ( thickening of lining of uterus
3. Thyroid disorder etc
So please consult gynecologist for internal examination and ultrasound.
I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
