Why am I having only "period clots" ?

I've always had heavy menstrual bleeding with no clots, but since my last 2 periods I'm only having a lot of large period clots and very little bleeding. During this I feel like fainting and feel unwell. What could be the reasons? (Also having a lot of hairfall)
P.s. I've been taking acne medications since 3 months. Could this be a reason too?
Don't tell me to see a doctor as I'll be going for an ultrasound next month.

Perimenopause can begin as early as your 30s. It's most likely due to fibroids in your uterus, which are treatable.
Glad you're seeing a Doctor to find out for sure.

@SW-User Thats what I thought too . The acne meds shouldn’t be doing that. Sounds like fibroids

@TexChik Fibroids are actually quite common.

@SW-User oh yes . I started spotting out of the blue and my I asked my neighbor about it . She’s my doc , and she swooped me up to the hospital and a gyn she liked was working . She did a few tests and a smear . Smear came back bad . They did a pet scan and only a pin point in my uterus showed up . I had my uterus removed 2 days later and there were actually 2 sites in it that were bad . All sentinel nodes are clear as were a few dozen other test sites . I was only down about 3 days because they made me. I never felt much pain or soreness. It’s always good to get checked .

@TexChik I'm so glad you're okay, Texipoo. It's really important. Yearly exams, and also mammograms!

@SW-User yep . My neighbors is a nut out of the hospital, but is the chief of trauma on duty. Her hubby is a nephrologist and surgeon too . They have great parties. But if I call her she comes running with her bag . She told me not to F around with it , called a surgeon she really liked that was magical . Was a laparoscopic robotic procedure.

@TexChik Wow! Robotic procedures fascinate me! There's minimal recovery and much less invasive surgery!

@SW-User doc scrubbed in to be there for me an to observe her friend. She said my uterus looked perfect . No cuts or tears . All surgical margins were clean . Very few sutures internally .
