Is Clotting With Pain In Menstruation Worrisome?

I am a slim 33 year old with no children. Last year and this year I experienced heavy bloating which after a scan was noted both times as being ovarian cysts and possible endometriosis. However, both times after a couple of months my bloating has subsided. Although I feel normal now outside of my periods, during my last two periods I have experienced crazy bloating, quite a bit of pain and have noticed clotting in my bleeding. Should I be concerned? Many thanks

Hi welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your question.
Clotting pain while menstruating suggest most possibly endometriosis.
Endometriosis should be treated medically(conservative method) and surgically depends on severity.
Conservative method is painkiller/ nsaids. naproxen, Hormonal contraceptives.
Surgical treatment, Conservative surgery to preserve uterus and ovaries if planning for pregnancy.
Hysterectomy if endometriosis is severe.
Hope I have answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
