Question

What does it mean when you change your tampon and a big peice of blood falls out when u take the tampon out?

Answer 1

It sounds like you just have a blood clot. Don't worry, those are totally normal. I get them at times also.  

Answer 2

it means you have ebola.

Answer 3

That's normal, I get blood clots all the time! But if you are really concerned then you should ask your doctor.

Answer 4

As others have said, it's just a blood clot.

To be specific, it's not just clotted blood -- it's a clump of blood, mucous, and uterine lining tissue. These are the things that normally come out during your period, but sometimes they clump up and form a clot.

It's also completely normal to bleed extra for a minute or two after a clot comes out. This is because the clot sometimes gets stuck like a sinkplug in the cervix or v****a (don't worry, it won't stay -- it's slippery and will just slide loose when you stand up) and blood pools up behind it, so when the clot comes loose there's a gush of blood.

Answer 5

Nothing too bad. Your period (as you probably know) is when the endometrium in the uterus or the "lining" comes out. It's only partially blood, there is also tissue in there.

If you are still worried, talk to your doctor. They will help you out.

Answer 6

its just a clot dont even worry about it..

good luck =]
