Hello and welcome to HCM,
Passage of brown colored discharge and tissue particles is common during initial days of menstrual cycle.
Tissue particles are usually due to passage of blood clots.
If the menstrual cycles are heavy, irregular and if these changes are recent, you need to consult your gynecologist.
Menstrual irregularities are common in healthy menstruating females.
The most common cause of irregular menstrual cycles is hormonal imbalance.
Thus, consult your gynecologist in case of irregular periods.
Thanks and take care
