What Causes Slight Back Pain During Periods?

Hello, my name is Kelsey, and I am a 24 year old High School English teacher. Yesterday I had my period. Today, had some slight back pain and discomfort before leaving for work. During my first class of the day the pain increased. The pain killer I had taken in the morning was not help. On a scale from 1-10 in pain I would rate it a 8 pushing 9. It was uncomfortable to stand, sit and walk. During my second class I took two liquid Advil and the pain went away. During third period of the day I felt something big, wet and warm pass over my tampon and a warm sensation. It felt like a fart. The moment that happen any pain that was not dulled by the Advil all but disappeared. 4 period of the day is a split class so when the class went to lunch, I went to the bathroom. In my pants was a large Oreo sized sack. I do not know a better way to describe it. What this object was could be balanced on three fingers. Maybe 3 or 4 inches in diameter. It was bloodied because it came out of me. I touched it and it was soft and warm. Flexible, like tissue, and it tore easily. I eventually discarded the object with the rest of the tissue as usual and washed up. I have no idea what this was, and I would like some guidance. Thank you.

OBGYN 's  Response
If your period was on time, and there is no way you could have been pregnant and had a miscarriage, you likely just passed a blood clot. Blood clots in the vagina can form when the blood is trapped in one position in the vagina for a while, like behind a tampon or first thing in the morning when you go from lying down to sitting up. Having your period vary from month to month in the amount you bleed or cramp is normal, and the first day or two is usually the heaviest and most painful. A clot as large as the one you describe can be normal once and a while, but if it lasts more than a couple days, or persists with every period for a while you should see your gynecologist for evaluation.
