Women’s menstrual status may be closely related to health. A woman in Taiwan has always had irregular menstruation. After giving birth last year, she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome and needed to take birth control pills for treatment. Recently, she had severe menstrual cramps when she started menstruating. When she went to the toilet, she discovered that a piece of endometrium the size of a palm had fallen out of her lower body. Some netizens were shocked when they saw this. They said that they had encountered the same situation in the past and were admitted to the hospital to seek medical treatment for endometrial cancer. They advised the victim to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

The victim recently posted on the online discussion forum “Dcard” as “Super intact endometrium“To share my experience with the topic, I said that I had a blood test shortly after my miscarriage in August last year, and was finally diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. It was suspected that the miscarriage was caused by poor quality fertilized eggs. I am currently taking morning-after birth control pills. treat.
On the 25th of last month, the victim had her menstruation after taking the first box of birth control pills. She had severe menstrual pain before going to bed at night, and a blood clot fell out when she went to the toilet:
“I thought it was a blood clot at first, but after I flushed it with water, I found out it was the endometrium.”
According to the photos provided by the victim, the fallen endometrium was as big as the palm of a hand, like a piece of sliced meat, which was quite scary at first sight. The victim admitted that it was the first time she saw a completely shed endometrium, so she was quite frightened, so she uploaded the incident to the discussion forum for sharing.
Netizens share their experiences and urge to seek medical treatment as soon as possible
Many netizens were curious about the victim’s experience, but one netizen nervously asked whether he had suffered heavy bleeding after the blood clot fell. He said that in September last year, he also fell out of a large blood clot on his palm during menstruation. He continued to bleed within an hour and went to the hospital. A biopsy revealed that she had endometrial cancer. Fortunately, it was discovered early and treated promptly, and the postoperative condition is optimistic. Therefore, we urge the victim not to ignore health signals:
“Normally, if a blood clot falls out, it will probably be about the size of a thumb. A blood clot larger than the size of a thumb, coupled with heavy bleeding (more than 2 to 3 sanitary napkins need to be changed within an hour) is a warning sign. Even during the bleeding process, I need to see a doctor too!”
The victim responded that it was the fourth day after taking a box of birth control pills. When he urinated in the afternoon, he noticed a small amount of bleeding in the urine. Then he fell into a clot of blood at night, and the amount of bleeding gradually increased. She has now gone to the obstetrics and gynecology department for medical treatment. After an ultrasound examination, the doctor said that there was nothing unusual in the uterus, but he did not give a definite answer. She will go to a large hospital for a follow-up visit and then check with the doctor.
3 major symptoms of abnormal menstruation
Menstrual pain or irregular menstruation may be a sign of menstrual irregularity. Huang Jiehua, a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, pointed out in an interview that the menstrual cycle generally refers to the number of days between the “first day of menstruation” and the “first day of the next menstrual period”. The normal cycle is between 3 and 5 weeks.
If you want to know whether you have menstrual abnormalities, in addition to calculating your menstrual cycle, you can also roughly judge whether you have menstrual abnormalities based on three major aspects:
Patients with menstrual disorders may experience excessive menstruation, which may induce anemia. Those with severe anemia may increase the load on the heart, reduce the body’s immunity, and increase the risk of fainting at any time. Some women with menstrual disorders may also suffer from multiple Cystic ovary.
Dr. Huang emphasized that long-term missed periods may increase the risk of uterine cancer. Moreover, the main symptoms of common gynecological cancers, such as cervical cancer and uterine cancer, are not abdominal pain, but abnormal bleeding. Therefore, as long as light menstruation occurs, If there are any abnormal problems, you should seek medical treatment in time.
Breaking down the 2 major causes of menstrual pain
Many women also face menstrual pain during menstruation. Some women have severe menstrual pain and need to take painkillers for pain relief. Dr. Huang explained that menstrual pain is divided into two categories: “primary menstrual pain” and “secondary menstrual pain”. The treatment methods for the two are completely different:
Primary menstrual pain:
- The patient’s uterus is healthy, but excessive secretion of prostaglandins in the body affects excessive uterine contraction, leading to menstrual pain.
- Solution: Reducing the consumption of refined and processed foods and a high-fiber and low-fat diet can reduce menstrual pain; for drug relief, painkillers and contraceptive pills are the main ones.
Secondary menstrual pain:
- The patient develops a disorder in the pelvic cavity, such as endometrial displacement.
- Solution: You need to prescribe the right medicine, perform surgery or take hormonal drugs.
Is taking painkillers for menstrual pain harmful to the internal organs?
There are many rumors that taking painkillers regularly may cause kidney damage. Dr. Huang said that there are two types of common analgesics on the market. One is paracetamol, which may cause damage to the liver, gallbladder and kidneys if taken in excess; the other is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and gastric bleeding. Even gastric ulcers, but as long as you take painkillers as directed by your doctor, there will generally be no major problems.
If you suspect you have menstrual abnormalities, she recommends that patients seek medical consultation and undergo objective examinations, such as Pap smear, pelvic ultrasound or blood tests, to check for anemia or hormonal problems.
