question: I am 43 years old and had my tubes tied after the birth of my third child 18 years ago. Never had any problems. My period was almost a month late and I am now having severe bleeding and passing alot of large blood clots. Soaking a tampon in 20 minutes with large clots. Do I need to see a doctor. I am anemic already so the amount of blood I am losing is concerning me as well as the large clots.
