A member asked:

What does it mean when white tissue comes out in your period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ron Eaker answered

Could be normal: this usually is a function of how long the blood takes to exit. It can clump and as it comes out can combine with normal vaginal secretions and look like "tissue". It is usually harmless.
