Medical gore is a place for gory pics/videos with some connection to professional medicine. From selfies in the ER, to autopsy documentation, from bot fly removals, to academic surgical videos, from botched tummy tucks, to reconstructive facial surgeries. We welcome it all.

Massive blood clot post partum
I passed this clot 6 days post partum after having minimal bleeding. Was roughly 500mls. I had an emergency c-section for severe chorioamnionitis after pprom. I continued having pain and bleeding and had ultrasound imaging with an inpatient stay at 8weeks postpartum. US showed a large volume haemorrhage in my uterus extending into my c-section uterine sutures. I was discharged on antibiotics. The pain and bleeding continued until I got postpartum sepsis at 12weeks postpartum and I was hospitalised acutely and went for surgery where retained products of conception was found and removed.
