Details required

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns. I saw the attached picture.

Following is my reply:

1) This picture does not say accurately whether this is miscarriage or endometrial tissue. I need few more details before confirming the same.

2) Let me know when was your last period date ( LMP) and whether pregnancy was confirmed by ultrasound scan or home pregnancy test ?

3) When was your next predicted period date ?

4) If you have had confirmed pregnancy then it is possible that this could be miscarriage. If not this is endometrial tissue.

Please let me know above details so that I can help you.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya

I have been bleeding continuously since August 14th. Have been diagnosed with Menorhagia as well. I did not have a confirmed pregnancy test, I was placed on IUD Mirena on August 20th, however I had unprotected sex multiple times shortly after getting IUD. That is why I was concerned.

Brief Answer:
This is endometrial tissue

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for additional information.

This is not a miscarriage. This is definitely endometrial tissue which is enlarged ( hypertrophied) in women with menorrhagia.

Therefore I see no reason to worry about miscarriage. Mirena is not associated with this.
