Hard, thick lump in my period

Hi,

this evening I found a hard, thick, fibrous 1cm lump in my period (caught in tissue when I wiped myself), I'm used to having blood clots, and thin uterine lining skin come out, but never have I seen anything like this before, so I'm worried.

I took a photo of it to show the GP.

Could this be a sign of uterine cancer or fibroid or anything like that? It's definitely not a miscarriage as I've not been sexually active.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Natalie

    Hi,

    I went to the GP who said that the mass looks abnormal, it's not a clot or skin or foreign substance, looks 'polypous', it was put in a pot and sent to histology at the local hospital (where I work, for histology in the office! I could not bring myself to give it to the lab as I work there so my friend and colleague kindly took it in for me).

    Have to say I am worried but worse case scenario is that it must have been caught early as my hysterscopy, laparoscopy and smear test in March this year only showed a polyp, which they removed and found was benign.

    Hi did you find out what this was as I have had the same thing come out. I've been googling but can't find anything that it could be. I was diagnosed a while back for a uterine polyp which I'm waiting to have removed. Could it possibly be that which has passed out on it's own?
