What to do if you have black menstrual discharge

Menstruation is one of the physiological characteristics of us women. We have menstruation every month, which means that our physical condition is well treated. However, many people have black discharge during menstruation. Some women do not pay attention to this phenomenon. Black discharge is abnormal and may contain some toxins. Below we will give a detailed answer to what to do if you have black discharge during menstruation.

Generally speaking, brown or black vaginal discharge before and during the first 1 or 2 days after menstruation is normal, but the causes are different. Black discharge before menstruation is caused by the shedding of a small amount of endometrium, while black discharge during menstruation is caused by blood remaining in the reproductive tract for too long. If there are no symptoms such as abdominal pain, yellow leucorrhea, odor or vulvar itching, you can continue to observe without worrying too much. You can usually use warm water to clean the vulva, keep the area dry and clean, and prevent infection.

Under normal circumstances, menstruation is bright red, without purple or dark blood clots. Once menstruation with blood clots occurs, it is often accompanied by dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea often causes patients to become mentally tense and emotionally unstable. Women who have blood clots during menstruation are believed by traditional Chinese medicine to be suffering from blood stasis, and often have symptoms of qi stagnation and blood stasis, such as rough and dull facial skin, acne, and dark red menstrual blood with blood clots. These women have a "blood stasis and qi stagnation" constitution and can be treated with ingredients such as Chuanxiong, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and Safflower. If the menstrual blood is less in quantity and lighter in color, it is a sign of "blood deficiency and body weakness" and you should use angelica, astragalus, rehmannia, longan, ginseng, etc. to nourish the body. If you have a "deficient and cold" constitution with cold hands and feet, you can eat cinnamon twigs, fennel, and mugwort to warm your body.

Normally, menstruation is bright red, and the menstrual discharge is black. On the one hand, it may be related to our mood, and on the other hand, it may be related to our internal body. Therefore, we must not only maintain a good mood, but also have a regular eating habit and maintain a healthy and stable state in our body, so that our body can achieve internal and external balance. Abnormal secretions will also show up on the face, and our skin will become dark and yellow. Women who love beauty should not only pay attention to the skin on our faces, but also pay attention to whether our endocrine system is normal.
