Passing clots and tissue during period
| Sat, 03-22-2008 - 5:38pm |
For the past year or so during my period I have had bouts of severe cramping followed by the passing of clots or what appears to be strips of tissue. Could I be shedding my uterus lining in strips? My gynecologist just told me to take extra ibuprofen, but I'm still disturbed by this. Could this be something serious?

I had a hysterectomy 2 1/2 yrs ago. I was having what you are describing also, but my periods were also lasting about 2 weeks. I would bleed very heavy and then have clotting and then a gross discharge for about a week of very stringy brown discharge. I ended up having a very large fibroid tumor in my uterus (it was not cancerous). My periods were very painful also.

Since you say "for the past year or so", I am guessing that your periods haven't always been this way.
