YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | Q&A

My period comes out clumpy. Ew.

 
I get brown clumps in my pad when I get my period, and they freak me out! What are they, and does it mean something’s wrong?

There’s nothing like some brown clumps to remind you that periods are kinda, well, icky! But fortunately, those brown clumps are also perfectly healthy. Phew!
 
Basically, when a girl’s menstrual flow is fast, it’s red. But when it slows down, it becomes brown due to exposure to the air. Plus, periods are all about your uterus cleaning itself out, so you’re also shedding the lining of your uterus. That means clumps and clots are not only OK, they’re expected.

I got my period in January and i still get brown stuff in my underwear almost everyday so i have to wear thin pads every day. Is this normal?




Hmm...if the brown stuff is clumpy, I would see a doc just to be on the safe side.  It's prob a problem that can easily be fixed with something he prescribes.

Mod,i was reading a comment on here and it mentioned " TSS " -what is that? Please answer in words, dont just give me a link, Thanks. xoxo




Toxic Shock Syndrome. Its when you leave a tampon in for a really long time and it causes toxins to get into your system and it can kill you. Just change your tampon regularly and you'll be fine. xoxo kerra
