What to do if your menstrual blood is dark during your period

Under normal circumstances, the color of menstrual blood should be red, but some women find that their menstrual blood is black and worry that it is caused by certain gynecological diseases. Experts say that black menstrual blood is mostly due to menstrual blood obstruction and menstrual blood stagnation in the body for too long. Usually, obstruction of menstrual blood flow can lead to dysmenorrhea, which has a great impact on women's physical health. So, what should you do if your menstrual blood turns black during your menstrual period?

What should women do if their menstrual blood turns black during their menstrual period? Dark menstrual blood can be divided into two main types. One is the deficiency of both Qi and blood. Women of this type have dark menstrual blood, and their periods are always early or late. They often experience dizziness and their blood is dark and pale. The second is the cold blood type. The so-called cold blood type refers to women with less menstrual blood, clots of menstrual blood, fear of cold, dysmenorrhea, etc.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that both the Qi and blood deficiency type and the blood cold type are related to women's irregular menstruation, or the seven emotions hurt, or congenital kidney deficiency, damaged function, etc. Only timely adjustment can give female friends a healthy body.

1. You must maintain a happy mood at ordinary times, avoid mental stimulation, and especially learn to control your emotions. Especially during the menstrual period, you may experience fatigue, emotional instability, anger, excessive tension and other problems. You must learn to find ways to calm yourself down and tell yourself not to punish yourself for other people's mistakes.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene, especially the hygiene of private parts. During menstruation, pay special attention to the cleanliness of the vulva to prevent infection. Women must not have sexual intercourse during menstruation. Try to wash your vulva with warm water. Choose cotton underwear that is well-ventilated and breathable, and change and wash it frequently.

Women should also learn to use sanitary napkins correctly during menstruation and change them at least once every 4 hours. Especially in the later stages of menstruation, women have less menstrual blood, and there may not be much menstrual blood throughout the day. Many women are too lazy to change their sanitary napkins, thinking that it will not seep out anyway. In fact, this is very dangerous. If sanitary napkins are not changed in time, the bacteria will affect the health of the entire reproductive organ.

3. Avoid excessive fatigue. Women must pay special attention to rest during menstruation and learn to find more opportunities for themselves to rest. In particular, you should be careful not to stay up late and always pay attention to your physical health. In particular, physical labor should be reduced, and exercise should be more low-intensity exercises such as walking and yoga. If you usually have insomnia problems, you can soak your feet in warm water before going to bed.

4. Pay attention to a light diet. Don't eat raw, cold food, or spicy food. Pay more attention to replenishing water and eating more fresh vegetables and fruits. At the same time, you can appropriately add some nutrition, such as eggs, milk, meat, fish, etc., and eat more.

5. If you have problems such as dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstruation, etc., you should go to a gynecological hospital for examination in time. At the same time, you can take some painkillers appropriately.

The above points are the issues that women need to pay attention to during their menstrual period. For the sake of women’s physical health and to reduce the occurrence of dysmenorrhea, I hope that female friends can pay more attention to the above points. Only in this way can they maintain good health and prevent the occurrence of dysmenorrhea, which will affect your physical health and normal work and life.
