What Causes Flesh Colored Discharge During Bowel Movement?
Today I noticed a round piece of flesh colored tissue looking substance when I had a bm. I am also having lots of cramping but my period is scheduled to begin this week. I did have some bleeding today as well. I have been on antiobiotics and prednisone for sinus infection so my stomach has been quite upset from that as well. I am wondering what this tissue could be and if I should be concerned.

Hello,
It is quite common and is due to mucus discharge.
Generally, it will settle by itself.
If you persistently experience similar discharge We have to rule out possible causes like colitis.
In that case, you have to consult a gastroenterologist and plan for a colonoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
