Why is my period flow thick and sticky like fish guts and causing pain?

Hi, I’ve been experiencing a lot of pain during my monthly period, and I’ve noticed that the flow is unusually thick and sticky—almost like the texture of fish guts. This has been happening for a while, and it’s starting to worry me. I’d like to understand what could be causing this and what tests or treatments might help.
