I’ve always had clots, but I’ve always had very difficult menstruations with female issues. It doesn’t seem to matter what type of product I use. I rarely use tampons because of this very issue. I was told by my Aunt who also has these issues that using tampons increase the cramping, it may be an old wives tale but it’s always been painful using them. Another problem that the clotting has caused is my inability to pop into the bathroom and take care of business in a clean and timely fashion. Always had me in mind when they created those pad + wipe products.
Do speak to your doctor about this issue, even though this may be “normal” there are things you can do to make things easier. My daughter (who I’ve cursed with this issue) didn’t want to deal with the whole pap smear issue and absolutely refused to go on birth control. Her doctor suggested taking ibuprophen every 4 hours for several days before and during her period to thin the blood. The dose was above the dose recommended on the bottle so you definitely need to check with the doctor even using OTC meds for this problem.
