Menstrual blood clots

The hormone progesterone and menstrual blood clots are linked through the action of estrogen. An increased risk of blood clots can occur because the hormone estrogen thickens blood. Hormone imbalances induced by environmental poisons especially the so-called 'xenoestrogens' are thought by some authorities to be a primary cause of this. 

To help reduce the risk of the occurrence of blood clots you should avoid all forms of estrogen and maintain adequate levels of progesterone.

In addition take between 15 to 75ml of Omega 3 essential fatty acids in the form of flaxseed oil or fish oils.

Readers' questions about heavy bleeding and spotting

I have been bleeding or spotting for weeks. Is this normal?

Long, heavy or unexpected bleeding should always be checked by a doctor or health professional, especially after menopause or if you feel faint or exhausted. Please do not rely on a website for this.

My bleeding changed after starting the cream. Why?

Some readers noticed a change in their bleeding pattern in the first cycles after starting or changing their routine. Keep a record of the dates and how heavy the flow is, and share it with your doctor.

Is bleeding in between periods related to hormones?

Bleeding between periods can have many causes, hormonal and otherwise. Readers who had it checked found the tests reassuring or useful. See Menstruation cycle for how the cycle works.

Can I stop my period for an event?

Readers ask about prescription tablets to delay a period. That is a question for your doctor or pharmacist.
