Why does black vaginal discharge occur after menstruation?

Many girls find it difficult to talk about the black color of leucorrhea after menstruation, because it is a private matter after all, so they often think that it is caused by unclean menstruation and do not pay attention to it. But in fact, this is a very wrong approach, because sometimes the leucorrhea after menstruation will be black not only because of irregular menstruation. Let's talk about this issue below to have a comprehensive understanding.

Under normal circumstances, there will not be too much vaginal discharge and it is translucent. However, if the characteristics of vaginal discharge, such as quality, quantity, color, and smell, change abnormally, it means that it is a manifestation of a certain disease.

Abnormal leucorrhea is generally a manifestation of vaginitis. For example, in case of purulent bacterial infection, the amount of leucorrhea increases and it is yellow or yellow-green, pus-like, and has a foul odor. In case of fungal and Trichomonas infection, the leucorrhea is gray.

Experts say that black vaginal discharge actually appears 1-2 days before and after the menstrual period. It is not that the vaginal discharge is really black, but that there is residual menstrual blood in the vaginal discharge. However, there are also abnormal vaginal discharge phenomena. If it is not black vaginal discharge during the menstrual period, what disease is it? On the contrary, if the vaginal discharge increases, is yellow or yellow-green, pus-like, and accompanied by a foul odor, if this situation lasts for a long time, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of foreign body in the vagina, and consider possible vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endometrial lesions, tumors, etc.

To determine whether you have vaginitis or other diseases, you should seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's advice. Do not blindly judge or treat yourself, because sometimes if women exercise too much or are overly tired and cause pelvic congestion, or if they are in the ovulation period, there will be a temporary increase in vaginal discharge. This requires us to pay more attention to gynecological examinations in our daily lives.

Therefore, if the vaginal discharge after menstruation is black, you should not avoid seeking medical treatment just because you are shy. This is likely to cause bigger problems, which is very bad for your health. So if you don’t want to go to the hospital for these reasons, you should take good care of your body. In addition, girls must pay attention to regulating their periods in their daily lives.
