Brief Answer:
Fleshy Tissue Is Mostly A Conceptional Product.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
I have reviewed your attached image. Fleshy tissue with above clinical features are mostly suggestive of conceptional product (incomplete type) due to early miscarriage in the failure of birth control pill. Other least possible cause is lining tissue of the endometrium.
However, we need to confirm the diagnosis. Therefore, I suggest to undergo one Trans Vaginal Ultrasound Scan (TVS) & blood test for beta-HCG to rule out possible miscarriage or other underlying pathology (if any). Early home pregnancy test is less significant.
After that, you must consult with your gynecologist for next line management. In case of miscarriage, you have to undergo D & C (surgical method) to evacuate uterine cavity completely. Otherwise, hormonal medication can be given on the basis of scan report to eliminate this type of problem.
Till then, you can take anti-spasmodic medication (like drotaverine) along with antacid 2-3 times to reduce abdominal cramp. Take balanced diet & drink more water. Maintain genital hygiene properly.
Hope, I have answered your query. Let me know, if you need any clarification.
Wish your good health.

Dr Soumen
