Why is the vaginal discharge black?

I believe that many female friends are well aware of the importance of leucorrhea. In addition to the function of cleaning the vagina, cervix, and uterus, leucorrhea also has the function of indicating reproductive system diseases. The abnormal leucorrhea that everyone often mentions is actually the early symptoms caused by certain gynecological diseases. If the leucorrhea is black in your life, what is the cause of it? So next I will give you a detailed introduction on why leucorrhea is black.

1. Black vaginal discharge: It may be caused by vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endometrial lesions, tumors, etc.

2. Yellow leucorrhea:

a. Leucorrhea that is yellowish green or yellow with an odor, thin and foamy, or like rice water and grayish white is mostly caused by Trichomonas vaginalis.

b. The leucorrhea is yellowish white, mostly with a thick texture, but sometimes it can be thin. It is typically milky white, like bean dregs, or in the form of curd-like white flakes or lumps. Most of the time, it is caused by fungal infection.

c. The leucorrhea is yellowish and has an odor or is milky white and purulent, often accompanied by abdominal pain. It is usually caused by chronic cervicitis or endocervicitis.

d. The leucorrhea is yellowish, bloody, serous or viscous, sometimes mixed with small rotten meat-like substances (looks like yellow sauce soup). It is mostly caused by infection with amoeba.

e. Black vaginal discharge: It may be caused by vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endometrial lesions, tumors, etc.

3. Red leucorrhea, that is, bloody leucorrhea: Bloody leucorrhea should alert you to the possibility of tumors, such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, etc., especially for women entering menopause, who need further examination to rule out cancer. However, this kind of leucorrhea can also occur due to benign diseases, such as cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, senile vaginitis, and submucous uterine fibroids.

The above is a detailed introduction to the reasons why leucorrhea is black. I believe that after the above introduction, everyone should understand what is going on. At the same time, the above also introduces some abnormal leucorrhea caused by other diseases. You can use the above introduction to distinguish which disease is caused, but the most important thing is that if any abnormal situation occurs, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
