Yaz Birth Control Menstrual Clotting

There are a number of reasons why women experience menstrual clotting and, in many instances there is no need to be alarmed if you see small clots during your flow. Clotting is considered a normal part of the body’s cycle which occurs as the body tries to control its bleeding. Menstrual clotting is common when your flow is heavier than normal. However, menstrual clotting also appears to be more common in women who are currently taking Yasmin birth control. The problem with Yaz menstrual clothing is that often clots are larger and occur more often than what is considered normal. Because of this, women taking Yasmin may experience several unwanted Yaz menstrual clothing side effects as well as additional health risks.

Blood Clotting During Heavy Periods from Yaz

Menstrual clothing will occur when there is an excess of blood in the uterus. This often occurs during a heavy menstrual cycle. Women who have just had a baby may also experience thickened clots of blood as the uterus contracts and the body returns to normal after giving birth. Menstrual clots are dark in color and can make the blood look a lot thicker. This can be a scary thing to experience but, in most instances, it is part of nature’s way. A woman’s body is prepared to handle this by releasing anticoagulants to keep the menstrual blood from clothing more than normal.

However, problems arise when Yasmin birth control is factored into the equation. The reason is because Yaz birth control contains drospirenone, a synthetic hormone that affects your blood. Drospirenone or DRSP causes blood to thicken due to the hormone manipulation. Yaz menstrual clotting usually occurs on a more regular basis. Furthermore, Yasmin menstrual clots are often larger than the size of a quarter. If you are passing large menstrual clots or are concerned about the amount of blood you are losing, contact a doctor right away.

It is important to let your doctor know if you are taking Yasmin birth control and if you are experiencing any blood clots during your menstruation period. You should also be on the lookout for the following symptoms which could be a cause for concern:

• Unexplained tiredness, pale skin – this could suggest you are anemic due to the unnatural amount of blood loss every month
• Irregular periods, bleeding in between periods
• Light-headedness

Menstrual clotting is a serious cause for concern and you may need to undergo certain tests to uncover the reason for your clotting as well as if any additional actions needs to be taken. You may need to have various blood tests, a biopsy, a vaginal ultrasound, a dilation and curettage and/or an MRI. All of these tests can be expensive as well as very uncomfortable for the patient.
