What Causes Passing Of Fleshy Tissue Discharge With Blood During Menstruation?
Question: Hi I started my period today and a unusual looking of fleshy material was discharged, without any sticky looking red discharge. It looks fleshy like maybe my uterus would look; and was as long as my pointer finger it stuck me as very unusual! I have had normal blood clotting like discharges before but this was flesh color with little blood.
Brief Answer:
Can be a polyp or overgrown endometrium.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The cause of passing a fleshy tissue can be due to delayed cycles- uterine lining is overgrown and when it sheds off, it appears as a fleshy tissue.
Another possibility, it could be an early pregnancy, which you miscarried and the clot expelled was the fleshy fetal tissue.
Thirdly, you might have endometrial hyperplasia ( thickening of the lining of the uterus ), an in this condition, you would have prolonged post menstrual spotting and then shedding off of the tissue like this.
An endometrial polyp could shed off this way too.
Certain hormonal medications or pills you have taken could lead to overgrowth of uterine lining and hence such bleeding and bleeding.
The only way to know is to consult a Gynecologist as early as you can, meanwhile preserve the clot if possible, and have it biopsied.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
