Title: Fish food looking flakes occasionally when I pee
Post by: Donnal1964 on December 12, 2024, 02:14:30 PM: I very occassionally get reddy brown debris in the toilet, what I can only describe as they look like the fish flakes you feed tropical fish. Now I understand its flakes of lining but what's confusing me is why they only appear when I go loo. Both myself and my husband are trying to figure out that piece lol. Apart from that I'm pleased to say all other symptoms have gone so fingers crossed

So I guess its normal and part of it all.

Hi, is it on the tissue when you wipe after going to the loo? I have the same thing, which I described to my doctor and gynae as looking like 'silt'. I had the implant which has now been removed in the middle of this year and since starting HRT I have had a one period which has petered off to like what you describe above. I have been to the hospital today and the gynae there said she thinks it's the HRT that interfering with my periods (or what is left of them). I'm 51 and during the time I had the implant (I had 2 consecutively) I didn't really have what I would call periods as such. I have got to go for a scan at some point to get it checked.
