What Causes Pain In Lower Abdomen?

I had a horrible stabbing pain in my lower belly. I went to bathroom and found a huge mass of tissue the size of a tennis ball in my underwear. I went to my gyno asap and he said it was my uterine lining shedding all at once. and that the pain was actually a contraction! Is this normal?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

Pain due to contraction of the uterus if it has to push down something like this is normal;
But the passing of the tennis sized mass is not normal.
You should have gotten the histo-pathology examination of the mass to see what it was, whether a conception products or a polyp or so.

Get an ultrasonography of the abdomen to see if there is something remaining something in the uterus.
