What are the possible reasons for solid tissues in period discharge followed by thick black-coloured blood?

Doctor's Answer

It is very difficult to determine the exact nature of the specimen, as such it would need to be sent for testing. As the diagnosis is also based on a detailed history, a physical examination and a pelvic ultrasound scan, which uses sound waves to make pictures and have a quick visualisation of the organs inside your pelvis, are highly recommended in order to have a thorough check of your female reproductive system.

It is best that you see a gynaecologist for an urgent consultation as soon as possible.

The various possibilities can include:

  • decidual cast
  • endocervical/endometrial polyps
  • and even products of conception
