Red tissue: period: What you have described are blood clots forced from your womb by contractions (cramps). This happens with heavy periods in teen age years, and is not dangerous. Some periods are more dramatic than others,but if it continues , see your healthcare provider for advice, and possibly ask about low dose birth control pills , which can control heavy bleeding.

Yes: The menstrual flow contains blood and mucosal tissue of the inner lining of the uterus.

Clots: Could be blood clots, which would be normal.
