Hi i am 24 years old and i have had 3 children all about 16 months apart (in age) the youngest just turned 1 on july 29th.. i haven't had a pap smear since the begining of my pregnancy with the last child (about 2 years ago) Since she was born after postparderm bleeding had ended (about 6 weeks) i noticed that my periods were highly irregular. and never 28 days apart like before the pregnancy...and also i get a dark brown/light brown discharge for about a week and a half before i get my actual period.then my period lasts about 5-6 days then i get the same discharge after my period for about 3 or 4 days..I thought it was just that i probably needed a D&C then I noticed a lump inside my vigina it's very lumpy and feels firm it's on the oppisite side of the rectum.
What could this be??? Could I have cancer?? I also have a lot of cramping during the discharge and my period.. I am very worried please give me some ideas of what this could be..
Thank you so much

I got this from after looking up stuff for my fiance... if you notice, the lump can stay inside of you because of irregular blood flow until it eventually comes out by normal menstruation:
A lump of jelly blood came out with my period
Question
I am currently on my period and this morning I had a lump of jelly-like blood of considerable size (about two inches long by about half an inch wide) excrete itself with a lot of blood. This happened two months ago and both cycles were late, but the period in the middle was almost non-existent.
I am not on the Pill and have been off it now for a good year.
Occasionally I get a sharp pain in my right ovary during the mid cycle. I just wanted to know why this might happen and what I can do about it. I know that lumps are common but not this size.
Answer
Firstly, the sharp pain you are getting in the region of your right ovary mid cycle is probably associated with ovulation. It will only happen when you ovulate from the right ovary, as sometimes you will ovulate from the left side, which in your case appears to be painless. Which ovary produces the egg each month is random. It is usually a short-lived discomfort and is best ignored if possible.
As far as the clots go, the size of these really depends on the rate of blood loss from the lining of the uterus, which is shed during a period and is the cause of the bleeding.
If the blood loss is very slow, the blood that appears is often dark and scanty with few obvious clots. If there is a sudden significant blood loss, then either frank blood appears in liquid form, or blood collects in pockets before it appears and then comes out as a clot of blood. These can look like black or dark jelly-like clots, that are shiny, or more granular brownish clots that can look like bits of liver or tissue. These have a lot of fibrin (a substance that aids in blood clotting) in them.
In your case it sounds as if you are not losing blood at a consistent rate during the period. When it is slow, you are hardly seeing anything, and then there is a more rapid loss and these clots appear. If you are lying down quietly the blood clots sometimes may pool in the vagina and clot there, and when they do appear can be quite large.
I don't think you really need to worry about the occasional large clot. What would cause concern would be if you passed constant frequent large clots so that your total blood loss was more than usual.
If this should happen, it would be best to see your GP about it. However this change in your periods may settle down again without anything needing to be done.
Yours sincerely
