Period clots
Hi
I am.46
Is passing blood clots on day 6 mostly when I urinate normal?
This has never happened before.. had it for one period before my last period and it has happened again this.time..
I usually sit for long hours during periods even on day 4 and day 5 due to mild pain and abdominal discomfort
Can this be causing it or there can be any other reason
Thanks

Your history is required to reach to diagnosis.
If your periods are regular but having pain and clotting then sonography is required to be done once.
Consultation is required to diagnose properly

Namasthe !
It Is common at this age because many women enter Perimenopause stage .Hormone levels fluctuate, ovulation may be irregular, and the uterine lining may shed unevenly, which can cause small blood clots or changes in menstrual flow.
If the clots are large, recurrent, associated with heavy bleeding, severe pain, or bleeding lasting more than 7 days, it is advisable to consult an Obstetrics and Gynecology specialist for evaluation to rule out conditions like Uterine Fibroids, Endometrial Polyps, or hormonal imbalance.
If the clots are not too big size you can try Lodra powder 1/2 tsp with normal water empty stomach in the morning. It helps reduce the size of clots and exessive bleeding.And important thing is to consult an Ayurvedic physician to analyse your body type before using any Ayurveda medicine.

Passing small blood clots during menstruation can sometimes happen when the menstrual blood collects in the uterus or vagina and comes out later, especially when you stand up or go to the toilet after sitting for a long time. At the age of 46, hormonal fluctuations related to the perimenopausal phase can also make periods slightly irregular or cause occasional clots.
However, clots appearing on day 6 of the period, particularly when it has not happened before, should be observed carefully. In some cases, it may be related to conditions which can lead to heavier or prolonged bleeding. Most of the time it is not serious, but if this pattern repeats, it is better to evaluate it.
Sitting for long hours during periods usually does not directly cause clot formation, but reduced movement can sometimes allow blood to pool and pass out as clots when you get up.
Next Steps
Observe the size and frequency of clots in the next cycle. If clots are large (bigger than a coin), frequent, or associated with heavy bleeding, consult for proper evaluation. Most of the times the pelvic area is not cleared due to several reasons like constipation, flatulence and sluggish peristalsis; due to which uterus is not able to fully contract its all blood and does it slowly that could be one of the reason for your condition, if so we have to evaluate.
Seek medical advice sooner if you notice severe pain, dizziness, weakness, or bleeding lasting more than 7–8 days. You can consult us personally at 9 3 1 5 6 6 1 5 6 5 for proper evaluation and treatment.
Health Tips
• Try to move around gently during periods instead of sitting for very long hours.
• Maintain a balanced diet rich in iron (green leafy vegetables, dates, jaggery, lentils) to prevent weakness from blood loss.
• Drink adequate fluids and rest when needed. Avoid constipation and hardstools if any.
• Gentle practices such as light stretching or yoga may help improve pelvic circulation and reduce discomfort.
Occasional small clots can be normal, especially during hormonal changes around the mid-40s, but repeated or heavy clotting should be evaluated to rule out underlying causes.
Thank you
