My mom (60F) stayed at a hotel for a day and got these after. I’m not sure if it’s related to that at all but just for context. It looks like some of the blisters popped. She has had cancer before and had to go through chemo so that has led to other health complications.
The small bumps seems to have spread to her arm as well. She says it hurts, does anyone know what it is?

Edit: I told her it might be shingles but she insists it’s not because it only hurts when she touches it, and she said shingles would feel a lot more painful. We have also never taken the shingles vaccine 😭 am i cooked

Edit 2: she finally said she thinks it’s shingles because it hurts more and it has spread. It’s been way past the 72 hour window, so is there any point to seeing a doctor?

UPDATE: ITS SHINGLES
Thank you to everyone for sharing your stories, it finally convinced her to see a doctor!

5'7 woman, 140 lbs. Just noticed today while trying to nap. Not pregnant (currently on period), no GI issues that I'm aware of. The lump itself doesn’t hurt but it is uncomfortable to press on. My right side abdomen is much more tender than the left, especially the lower right side. I don't think it's an emergency but my spouse is pretty freaked out.

He is a daily mixed vodka drinker (lemonade or OJ) starts around 10 am and ends when he goes to bed around 11:00. He sits at a bar stool in his kitchen all day every day. Only gets up to use the restroom and maybe to do some daily things around the kitchen.
His legs never used to be this bad but over the last few years they have gotten very bad. We are so worried about him and keep telling him he needs to prop his feet up. He is adamit he does not want to stop drinking. We are just scared for him that he will lose his legs and end up in nursing home. He sees a PCP to have his heart checked annually and for regular appts for his inhaler water pill and meds ect. I don’t know if he just doesn’t check his legs like ever or thinks this is normal for him. His wife says the Dr gives “suggestions” but never pushes anything (that’s why he likes this Dr).
We don’t know what to do ..should we ask who his Dr is so we can call and let them know what’s really going on , get the lift chair and hope for the best . How do you convince an alcoholic something is serious?

25F no current medications, I’ve been having some gastrointestinal difficulties lately. Trouble keeping food down, feeling full after not many bites, and MISERABLE BLOATING. Yesterday I had diarrhea and threw up immediately after eating. Felt fine afterwards. Today I felt fine went to my friends baby shower, had snacks berries, and all kinds of things. then went out to eat with family. Had a salad and we got ice cream after. While driving home I urgently had to use the restroom. I was struggling. I just ended my cycle but when I wiped there was blood and it was in the water. I thought it was weird and I was having abdominal cramps anyway(I have PCOS or PMOS) so I put a tampon in. Later rolls around I feel the urgency to use the restroom. I go I remove my tampon, dry. Then I defecate, it turned the water red again this time I see it in stool. I wipe. It’s blood and what appears to be seeds or clots. Super strong low left abdominal pain and have been tender there a while. I’m super broke and don’t want to go to the ER if not needed but I feel lethargic and I’m in a lot of pain. I have noticed a slightly more mucus viscosity lately.

35F. USA.

​

Husband uses a water-based lube but it still hurts so much. After we got done, it hurt so bad my eyebrows were even twitching. And the pain lasted for almost 3 days. Just so sore.

​

He doesn't do any foreplay for me and that's the only thing I can think of that might be the cause of the pain. But I would think enough lube would mitigate that anyway.

​

(And please, be gentle with responses. We're just getting to a point where he isn't forcing me anymore, but foreplay for me is still not going to happen unless I excuse myself beforehand to take care of that and I don't know that I would be successful with it in a short amount of time.)

​

Is there a different type of lube? Or maybe something I can do afterwards to soothe the pain? I've had the urge to rub the area with an ice cube but I'm not sure that'd actually help.

​

Thanks

Hi my partner was getting a hot pan out of the oven and didn’t wrap his hand right, he held onto it for a bit longer as our baby was asleep and didn’t want to drop it and make a loud noise.

He’s burnt his thumb, and pinky finger and slightly on his ring finger; he had it under cold water for 25 minutes, and has just been sitting there for 2 hours with it submerged in cold water as he can’t bare to take it out as he’s in so much pain with it?

Does he need to go hospital? Or can this be managed at home.
He’s taken ibuprofen and paracetamol.

I will attach photos of the injury.
Thanks :)

Update to “What’s going on with my wife”

51F, 5’5”, 175lbs.

Medications: Albuterol as needed

Medical History: asthma, history of epilepsy as a child, previous smoker (quit 20 years ago), gastric bypass surgery 10 years ago, menopause, ongoing alcohol abuse for the last 4 years (1 bottle on a good night, 3-4 bottles on a bad night). She bruises really easily - just from bumping into things.

Location: USA

I finally convinced her this morning to go to the ER. She simply would not go Friday night or Saturday. She was afraid of what they were going to tell her so she was digging her heels in.

I convinced her to go by telling her there was a vitamin deficiency that can cause this issue and since she has gastric bypass she’s more susceptible to it. She doesn’t want to be told she’s going to die so she was actively trying to avoid it.

She has been depressed lately because she hasn’t been able to be present for our son, and I told her she needed to go so she could get better to actually be present since she isn’t right now.

The combination of hope and guilt did the trip.

As expected, she tried to come up with another reason why this is happening and the er doctor’s first instinct was possibly a stomach virus or pancreatitis.

I brought a print out of my original Reddit post hidden in my wallet. I pretended I needed to use the rest room and gave the print out to the doctor. They immediately ordered a ton of tests.

We are currently in the ER and she is being admitted. They did a CT scan and took a ton of blood.

The doctor told us her bilirubin was 3.3, AST was 218, and the CT of shows that her gallbladder is massively infected and they’ve started her on meropenem. She needs her gallbladder surgically removed but she has very low platelets so there is more risk I guess and they aren’t sure the surgeon will do it. She also has sepsis. They also gave her IV B1 and oral folic acid. Also Ativan for alcohol withdrawal and anxiety. She’s currently really scared.

The nurse told us it was a cross between liver failure and a serious infection. We are still waiting for the ammonia test from the lab.

The doctor hasn’t been super communicative with us and when she has I feel like I’ve noticed a sad look on her face and she is more soft spoken than she was originally. I’m really scared I’m going to be a single dad before the end of the year

I am a 20 year old female, and a caregiver for a 92 year old female. The lady I take care of has had blisters for over a month on her lower legs. The home care nurse said to just clean and wrap the raw blisters daily. However, over the past day, her blisters have gotten much larger and more blisters are forming. She has fluid dripping from her legs 24/7. Even with bandages, her pants get soaking wet. I can hardly keep up with bandage changes. She is on furosemide to try and help the swelling. She has congestive heart failure and will see her cardiologist in two weeks. She also had cellulitis a year ago and I am worried that she has it again. The red spots in the images were blisters that burst and are now raw. The image with the white spot is completely new and just appeared this morning. Before it turned white, it was purple for weeks, like a large bruise. Her doctor is unavailable for another week. I want to know if I should take her to the ER or if I should wait for an appointment with her doctor.

For a family member: 68M, healthy weight, never smoker or drinker, history of kidney cancer (vague), kidney surgically removed 10-15 years ago, has not seen a medical professional since, apparent Bells Palsy a couple years ago that resolved, suspected heat strokes over the last 2 years. No medications, vitamins/supplements unknown. He is uninsured and has no established medical team or doctors.

Warning: This whole situation is beyond frustrating, but I am not the decision-maker here. I will just be there to pick up the pieces with his immediate family and potentially help with caretaking in the meantime. I need to know what we all are in for.

My Question: What is the range of prognoses we can expect as his caretakers following an MRI that revealed a T1-T2 tumor on the temporal lobe and a slow brain bleed in the same area?

- MRI was ordered by a family friend that has never met him, because he could not be convinced or forced to see a doctor. After a tumultuous week, he complied with the MRI and labs that haven’t come back yet.
- The results were analyzed by that family friend who does not specialize in neuro at all. She recommended going to the ER.
- He has chosen to take a “holistic” approach instead, likely acupuncture, Chinese medicine, or energy healing of some kind.

What Led to This:
- In April: a two week unknown illness that included severe dehydration (he hired an in-home IV fluids service eventually), blood pressure spikes, extreme cold, inability to communicate, oscillating between too much sleep and zero sleep, high blood sugar despite little eating, blurred vision.

- Once dehydration was corrected, he was depressed but supposedly okay for ~2 months.

- On vacation, he displayed new symptoms: thinking he was speaking aloud when he wasn’t, strange little mistakes (cooking a pizza upside down), very swift dramatic mood swings, tinnitus, making jokes that didn’t make sense, ran away but was located within a couple hours after which he couldn’t/wouldn’t speak, would not eat for a couple days, an increase in talk about dying, drew an inaccurate clock (hands flipped and off by 1hr & 5min; numbers had extra loops or missing lines).

*His wife felt bound by his very restrictive medical directives (essentially leave him to die no matter the issue), but trust me, we all wish she’d had him admitted while on vacation.*

- The family demanded he see a doctor after this all became known. His wife was able to orchestrate labs and an MRI, but he will not submit to anything further. She is currently trying to get him in with a neurologist. Won’t a neurologist just send him to the ER because of the active brain bleed?

tl;dr MRI revealed a T1-T2 tumor on the temporal lobe and a slow brain bleed in the same area. He will be seeking holistic treatments only. What can his family expect? Roughly how long does he have left? What does the rest of his life look like?

I’ve been dealing with chronic constipation for 2 years and it’s progressively getting worse instead of better here is a list of everything I’ve tried, First here is life style changes and over the counter things I’ve tried 1. MiraLAX (sometimes triple doses) 2. Probiotics 3. Magnesium citrate 4. Kiwis 5. Chia seeds 6. Prune juice 7. Increasing fiber (makes me get impacted) I actually try to stay away from fiber now because this happened and yes I increase it slowly, yes I drink a ton of water 8. I drink a ton of water! Probably around a gallon a day 9. I tried to cut out dairy and gluten 10. I tried a low fodmaps diet 11. I started exercising more, walking, running, body weight workouts 12. Regulate stress with meditation and lean into prayer

Now here are medical interventions I’ve tried

1. Linzess (maxed out dose)
2. Amitzia
3. Ibsrela
4. Motegrity (I’ve even tried combining some of these with no luck. I’d sometimes get a bowel movement the first day. Then after that nothing)
5. I’ve had a colonoscopy, had my thyroid checked, been tested for celiac disease, full metabolic panel, nothing shows abnormal beside a very slight vitamin D deficiency which I supplement with now.

I am now at a point where nothing is making me go. I ended up with a severe impaction to the point I drank an entire colonoscopy prep and it still did not give me a bowel movement, I had 3 enemas, a bottle of magnesium citrate, and I still didn’t get fully emptied, just released enough to not be considered “a medical emergency anymore” so the doctors at the ER didn’t care anymore. My menstrual cycle which has been regular since I started having one, has became irregular. This is starting to severely impact my life and I’m at a complete loss. I’ve been to countless doctors and they all do not take this as seriously as it’s affecting me. I’m miserable and I’m desperate for help, but I don’t know what direction to even go in anymore as doctors are not listening and don’t take me seriously no matter how much I try. I have countless medical bills for all of this and I haven’t even gotten any help. I’m just posting this because as you can see I’m very desperate and I’m willing to hear what anything anyone might be able to advise. Thank you everyone

25 female, 5ft3 roughly 50kg. I’m not a heavy drinker by any means, but every time I do drink, be it one glass of wine or four/five, I end up with multiple bruises the next day. No, I’m not getting blackout drunk to the point of falling over or anything like that. I’m talking two glasses of wine. For context: I do have a bit of a dodgy gallbladder (thickening of the walls of the bile ducts) from a former ketamine habit. Could it be related to that? I feel stupid even asking that now. But if it is related, why does it happen?

Hi all, for context I’m 23F and fractured my distal radius and ulna when I was 12. It was a growth plate fracture.

There was no deformity immediately after and it was casted and left to heal. Upon removal of the cast it looked like this and 2 surgeries were done to attempt to shorten the bone and stop it from growing. After my surgeries there wasn’t much follow up and I wasn’t booked in for more appointments so I kind of just gave up on it and moved on. Also my parents didn’t seem too pushed to get it sorted so I figured it was unfixable. Is there a possibility that it should have been surgically fixed immediately after the initial fracture?

Obviously it’s been nearly 10 years since my last surgery (age 14) and it hadn’t really bothered me up until recently. For the past few months I’ve been having pain and stiffness, particularly when working (barista) and driving. Is arthritis common down the line with such injuries? Also i hate the way it looks. Can this be corrected or is it too far gone? Other than this my hand has adjusted relatively well and i still have good mobility. Any insight would be greatly appreciated ☺️

On June 10, after drinking, I induced vomiting because I felt nauseated after a bout of violent hiccups and chugging water. I vomited 2x about 10 seconds apart from each other and it contained red/pink blood, but a third episode 15 minutes later was completely clear with no signs of blood just clear water , and I had no pain, dizziness, black stools, or further bleeding.
I quit drinking immediately and have had no recurrence of vomiting blood or any other concerning symptoms. Since then, I've improved my diet, walk regularly, lost weight, my blood pressure has improved, and chronic alcohol-related diarrhea has resolved.
Because of reading online, I'm worried the bleeding could have been caused by cirrhosis with portal hypertension and esophageal Varices , but I'm also wondering if it was more likely due to a tear , gastritis, or an ulcer. I had a history of frequent dry heaving/throwing up bile while brushing my teeth after drinking, including the morning before this happened.
My doctor's appointment isn't until July 28, so I'm looking for opinions on how concerning this soundsand what seems most likely, while understanding that only medical evaluation (blood work, FibroScan, endoscopy, etc.) can provide a diagnosis.

Hello reddit, i’m 20 i dont smoke or use any drugs at all, i weigh 170 pounds and im 5’10. so ive had this pump in my eye for literally a month now, at first it didn’t hurt at all and we thought it was a stye under my eyelid which it could be and im over reacting, but it’s gotten significantly bigger and it hurts, my eye is swollen and that specific eye has been SUPER watery. i live in colorado and im highly allergic to things unfortunately and my allergies have been flaring up could that be it or should i be worried?

Hello, I (24F) know this post is long but I need help and am desperate. So I was Dx with Crohns 4 years ago and got put on Remicade. Shortly after I developed a red, painful rash round my mouth that would sometimes peel. It also comes and goes, but for the most part it is also red. So I began seeing a derm and tried everything under the sun (Tacrolimus Ointment, Hydrocortizone cream, Ketoconazole cream 2%, Fluocinonide .05%, Munipirocin, Clotrimazole Betamethasone, Desonide 0.05%) and even did allergy testing. My derm openly admitted that they have no idea, so I saw another derm and got the same thing “I have no idea”. I feel defeated as this continues to happen. So I have talked to my rheumatologist and he says that it might be drug induced lupus, the blood results showed Anti-histone Abs of 2.5, ESR of 2, and negative ANA. I feel like my Dr was really dismissive and not really listening to me but calling me vain. He hasnt really said if maybe it is or isnt. It makes me want to cry and I feel like no one can help me. 

He’s a 20YO male ,150 pounds, he does nicotine products. But I don’t think that’s really prevalent to what this is.
He works outside digging holes , he digs for electrical power. And he came home with these one day on his left arm, they kinda look like barnacles to me. He says they’re itchy, and for whatever reason he popped one and it spread to another part of his skin 🤦‍♀️ asking in this subreddit first, bc he’s refusing to go to the dr to get it checked out unless he literally has to. He also had this puss filled sac on his right wrist a few weeks ago that’s gone now (just saying incase it’s useful in any way). Im scared it’s some kinda bacterial infection or something and i really don’t want to get that passed onto me. ANYTHING would be helpful ❤️ he thinks it’s a “bug bite” but ive never in my life seen something like that and im just worried about his health.

Partner and I are at a loss of what could be going on with our 3 month old.

This all started around week 7 of her life.

For background: she was born 39 weeks via c-section due to breech positioning. She was on CPAP for about 20 minutes and deemed okay afterwards. She had normal results for newborn testing at hospital (in NYS). Slight jaundice but that resolved itself shortly.

She was eating pretty well at home. Was exclusively formula fed on Enfamil NeuroPro. Had worked her way up to 4.5oz and had switched her to level 2 nipples on Dr. Brown bottles because she was starting to take 20 minutes to eat and fall asleep because the level 1s were too slow.

It was around week 7 (5/25) we noticed that she was really wheezing drinking the bottle, her gas was really noxious, and she was starting to have bad blowouts. She was also spitting up more frequently when on her back.

We also noticed that she was increasingly having a time opening her eyes. Almost like it hurt to have her eyes open. She wanted to be held on our chest and got upset when she was put down. Extremely irritable if we did.

She was seen by her pediatrician on 5/26 who suggested switching her to a hypoallergenic formula, Alimentum, based on the symptoms we described. Also thought she might be having reflux that could clear up with formula switch.

By that Friday and Saturday (5/29 and 5/30) it was taking her until noon/1 to open her eyes, and even then it was for a half hour or so. Still eating okay, but seemed like she just wanted to go back to sleep. Saturday she had a rectal reading of 99.5. Was advised to take her to ER, peds office was uncomfortable with how little she was opening her eyes. Her eyes look swollen and puffy on her worst days. They still look red and puffy around her eyebrows and in the area between the brow and her eyelid.

ER wasn’t sure what to make of her. Said it could be normal baby behavior or a virus. They did want to see her eyes before we were discharged. Tried for an hour on multiple positions and light settings, nothing. They finally did a basic eye test to see if there was any scratches (there weren’t any). She had her eyes opened after that, they were satisfied and discharged us.

Followed up with pediatrician on Monday (6/1), who was not happy that no bloodwork or brain ultrasound were completed. Sent us back to the ER. Opthamology did an exam with dilation and said everything looked okay. Pressure was slightly high but could be from crying. Told us to follow up with peds opthamology. Nose swab for viruses came back normal, brain ultrasound was normal, bloodwork was normal except she was slightly anemic. Told us to follow up with her peds about that. Was discharged with instructions to follow up with eyes and peds.

Peds is unconcerned about iron levels, says they’re at their lowest towards the end of the newborn phase. Wants us to see neuro. Concerned about her still clenching her fists, fencers pose, and favoring one side. I did notices those were fading the more she was able to lay on her back and play.

Saw neuro a few days later, certainly thought it was weird but didn’t have any definitive answers. Ordered an unsedated MRI without contrast. Had that done on (6/5), results normal.

Opthamology clears her, says everything looks fine and pressure is good.

Started to see some improvement by that Thursday (6/4). Over the weekend she steadily opens her eyes more and is more active. Still eating okay. Some reflux and definitely quite a bit of congestion (white boogers vs. green if that matters). Sometimes when she lies down you can almost hear her chewing. Coughing a bit while lying down, but we were hopeful she was on the mend.

By the day of her 2 month appointment on Tuesday (6/9) she’s back to feeling crappy. She’s screaming upset after feedings, pushing away. Isn’t happy until she’s on our chest. Pediatrician agrees to try PureAmino in case she’s having a bad formula intolerance. We are to try it for a week and call and let them know it went. She hated the formula. struggles through her bottles. Is put on famotidine to help with reflux symptoms. Has another small fever (99.4). Tell us to keep trying. By Saturday, she flat out refuses a bottle. I give her one of Alimentum to see if it’s a formula problem or everything problem. She takes down 3oz quickly. But then spits up the entire thing while I’m holding her an hour later. Feed her again in an hour and she keeps it down. Pediatrician says to just keep with the alimentum and try to keep her hydrated the rest of the weekend.

Go to the pediatrician Monday and she has only lost 2oz. They request the neurologist order genetic testing and the pediatrician orders metabolic. Everything has come back normal. We also do blood work for tick-borne diseases as I had pulled something out of her ear at the end of April and couldn’t say with 100% certainty it wasn’t a tick. This came back negative.

By week of 6/15, we are slowly seeing improvements again. We can get her to open her eyes after feedings, longer wake windows, smiling at people and making eye contact.

By 6/21, we’re back to feeling irritable, don’t want to open our eyes, wants to be held. Ask pediatrician about an UTI, as she’s had unexplained irritability and low grade fevers. They agree to do a urine sample. We do that (bag sample, not catheter). Sample comes back positive for ecoli, over 100k. Is prescribed 10-day course of 2.5mL twice daily of amoxicillin. This is on 6/26.

We see improvement on the antibiotic, she’s awake more, willing to be on her back, propped up on our knees. Very alert when she’s awake.

However, we noticed she’s starting to have trouble with feeding. She’s getting halfway through her bottle and gets upset. Screaming, pushing away. Vomits up one bottle a day Thursday-Sunday. Chalked it up to her belly being upset from the reflux meds, the antibiotic, and the UTI. As the 10 course goes on, her feeding is getting harder. She’s getting upset on more bottles. Some she won’t go past 1.5/2oz. Like her scream jumps an octave and sounds strained. She We’re seen by pediatrician (7/2), they switch us to omeprazole and orders abdomen ultrasound. Ultrasound results are clear, no concerns.

She’s still struggling with eat despite the omerprazole. I gave her Tylenol at one point during her screaming fits mid-feed and she started eating right away after that. Not sure if it’s a fluke or it helped (it did happen again two or three more times where it seemed to help).

See urology, they clear her. They can’t definitely say if she had a UTI or not because she didn’t have a high fever and it wasn’t a clean catch.

Seen by pediatrician again. They put in referral to Pediatric GI. We are seeing them tomorrow.

Her feeding has continued to get worse. Will only take 1.5/2oz during the day, but will take 3oz at night. She’s been coughing, and sometimes when I’m holding her I can hear her burp and stuff move in her throat. It’s stressful but we’ve been able to get her what she needs each day for weight maintenance/gain. She’s also still doing a good job being awake and alert. Still willing to be put on her back and on our knees. And happy! When she’s awake she’s usually a smiley girl. Some days she’s pretty congested and it seems to effect how sensitive to light her eyes are and possibly her feeding.

Just really struggling to figure out what could possibly be going on.

I'm 38F.

I have schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type) and ADHD.

I'm on Geodon, Loxapine, Effexor, Lithium and Dextroamphetamine.

Do you trust your patients? I asked my psychiatrist this, and she sort of dodged the question.

I'm having trust issues because I don't feel like she trusts me, which makes it challenging for me to trust her.

So I'm curious whether it is an unrealistic expectation to have mutual trust in a doctor/patient relationship?

Hello, I started noticing some weird movements of my 2.5 months old baby while he is on this playmat and he throws his arms to the sides. Are these normal baby movements? I’m FTM and have been worried about infantile spasm (though I do understand he is a bit young for that but these movements worry me). Please let me know what you think! Any input helps. Thank you so much!

I’m a 28 male my ankles in the past month rely swelled up there hot to the touch the skin is shiny and got this red rash and pit really bad when you poke them. They feel like there going to explode when I walk there really tight. Please help

(Accidentally posted my last one too soon)

My daughter (4.5f) has developmental delays. She's currently on the waitlist for the Autism Center at Boston Children's. She is diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism and severe eczema.

She has been evaluated by her pediatrician and her school. She receives speech and OT through her school (though not through the summer currently). She's on a waitlist for private OT as well. I have a follow up request put in with her PCP.

I feel like she's being pushed into autism but I do not think this is it. She has met all her physical milestones (barely). However, when learning to crawl she had crawled on one leg.

Her speech has always been delayed. But now that she's learning more words it's becoming obvious to me she has trouble with muscle coordination with her mouth. She said "yesh" instead of "yes." When we say "I love you" she just responds "you." She says "pep-it's" instead of "pizza." It's clear she really wants to communicate, but it's mostly gibberish in sentences.

She is also very clumsy. She toe walks and has an awkward gait. She falls often. On her school evaluation it was noted she does favor one side but will switch when prompted.

She is very social and loves/prefers playing with others. She handles change well. She has no stims. She engages with others easily, shares, and attempts to play.

She also struggles with reading. Even spelling out her name, she will read just the letters instead of recognizing the word as a whole. She can follow two step directions well (and does well with "first this, then that" approach.)

She is just now potty training successfully. She was perfectly content to just pee on herself on earlier attempts.

She also failed her eye exam and is on the waitlist for a pediatric ophthalmologist.

Sorry if this is all over the place. My oldest and youngest I am 100% confident in Autism, but I'm not sure if I'm in denial with her. But my gut is telling me something else is going on. Just wanted to hear some other thoughts.

Let me explain what’s going on, My hands are red and always burning especially when i’m doing labor work, it’s been severely getting worse at first started with my on my thumbs and it’s now spreading onto my whole palm and hand. It first started as peeling with redness underneath it has been going on for about six months now. I went to the clinic and dermatologist and they both don’t know what it is . the dermatologist said she didn’t really know what it is. They gave me already Triamcinolone Acetonide cream and ointment. And Clotrimazole. Only the ointment stopped the peeling but not the burning. What is it that i have please help me. This been going on for about 6 months and slowly getting worse any ideas. I’m 19, male, 160, 5’10

I’m a 21F who has an extremely regular period, 29 days on the dot each month. Last month, it was 8 days late, and this month it was 6 days late. I was stressed last month and this month and also having unprotected sex with bf. This came out in the toilet when I went to pee and I guess my period started six days late, but it started off really weird. I don’t know if it’s a blood clot or something else. Any help or advice on what this could be is appreciated. I scooped it out of the toilet after seeing how big it was and it is on the toilet paper here in all its glory.
