What Causes Heavy Menstrual Bleeding With Blood Clots?
I am 42 years old and I am having some menstrual problems.
I started bleeding around May 9th (which was about 9 days late). I stopped for one to two days and then started bleeding again. I have been bleeding very heavy with ALOT of clotting and I am going through super tampons, pads and clothing like I never have in the past.
At what point should I become concerned and if I should see a doctor, would they do a pelvic exam at this point (that makes me uncomfortable).
