Thanks, XXXXXXX
Can be overgrown endometrium.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If possible, could you procure some formalin solution from a chemist and immediately preserve the tissue, so it could be sent for a biopsy ?
That would yield the most accurate diagnosis.
Otherwise I can list a variety of differentials for you.
First, since you are suffering from polycystic ovaries, sometimes due to delayed cycles, uterine lining is overgrown and when it sheds off, it appears as a skin like tissue.
Another possibility, it could be an early pregnancy, which you miscarried and the skin 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.
A very rare possibility is ectopic pregnancy, that is , pregnancy outside the uterus, wherein, a decimal cast like this might be shed off.
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.
