What is a menstrual clot and should I be concerned if I notice them during my period?

A menstrual clot is a gel-like mass of blood that can form during menstruation when blood clumps together. It is usually normal to have some clots during your period, but if you notice large or frequent clots, it may be a sign of a heavier flow or an underlying health issue. It's a good idea to talk to your healthcare provider if you have concerns about the size or frequency of menstrual clots.
