Hemorrhoids around period

Jennifer
I have been experiencing hemorrhoids that tend to flair up around my period, today it has a little bit of clots in it as if my period was starting, I went to the bathroom on break (from working) and noticed blood on my panties so figured my period has started, but nothing and I have little clots again, can someone please tell me if this is normal, i'm freaking out and this is the third time this has happened to me
