In fact, black menstruation is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, and menstrual blood has been stagnant in the uterus for a long time.

Therefore, experts recommend that female friends who experience this phenomenon should go to the hospital for examination in time. Generally, diseases that cause irregular menstruation in women are seen in ovarian diseases and cervical diseases. Menstruation is formed after the hormones secreted by the ovaries stimulate the endometrium. The hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the release of hormones from the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, whether it is the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus that are abnormal in function, it will affect menstruation.
