Brown bleeding during both periods

Menstrual irregularities are a common disease among women. Not only may the amount of menstruation increase or decrease, but the color of menstrual blood may also become abnormal, such as dark brown blood, which can make women very worried. So what is the cause of brown menstrual blood? How should we take care of ourselves?

1. What is the cause of brown menstrual blood?

Normal menstruation is dark red, mixed with some uterine wall debris, cervical mucus, etc., usually without blood clots. If the color of menstrual blood turns black or purple, or contains blood clots, it is abnormal. Generally speaking, there are five main reasons for brown menstrual blood:

1. Brown menstruation caused by kidney deficiency

Patients with kidney deficiency have less menstrual volume, the color will appear dark brown or black, and they will also have symptoms such as sore waist and weak legs, tinnitus, dizziness, frequent urination at night, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to nourish the kidney and strengthen yang to regulate menstruation.

2. Brown menstruation caused by deficiency of Qi and blood

Women with Qi and blood deficiency usually have early or delayed menstrual cycles, increased or decreased menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual periods, dark brown or grayish black menstruation, and often experience dizziness, fatigue, and other symptoms. At this time, they need to replenish Qi and blood.

3. Brown menstruation caused by qi deficiency and blood stasis

Due to the irregular menstruation caused by Qi deficiency and blood stasis, the menstrual volume may be more or less, the color is dark brown, and there are blood clots. Due to poor blood circulation, symptoms of dysmenorrhea may sometimes continue to occur. Therefore, it is necessary to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, regulate Qi and relieve pain.

4. Brown menstruation caused by luteal insufficiency

Some women have luteal insufficiency, which results in insufficient estrogen, and may therefore experience dark brown menstruation. In addition, dark brown menstrual discharge may also occur in cases of endometritis, endometrial polyps and other diseases.

5. Brown menstrual period caused by cold

If you eat cold food, take a shower, or soak in cold water during your menstrual period, which will cause your abdomen to get cold, it will also cause your menstrual flow to be less, dark brown, or even cause dysmenorrhea.

2. How to treat brown menstrual blood

1. Pay attention to daily cleaning

Since the uterus is open during menstruation, it is easy for bacteria to enter the uterus from the vagina, causing gynecological diseases and causing dark brown menstruation. Therefore, during menstruation, you must pay attention to keeping the private parts clean, change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently, and prohibit intercourse and sitting baths during menstruation to prevent toxins from entering the body.

2. Manage your time wisely

During menstruation, you should avoid strenuous physical activity or intense exercise to avoid excessive menstrual flow, blood clots, or brown color.

3. Regulate your emotions

If you feel uncomfortable during your menstrual period, it may cause poor blood flow and cause your menstrual period to be dark brown. Therefore, you should pay attention to adjusting your mood during your menstrual period to avoid excessive excitement and stress.

4. Control your diet

During menstruation, you should pay attention to eating more light and nourishing foods, such as jujube, beef, dried longan, old brown sugar, etc. However, you should not eat overly spicy foods or cold foods, so as not to cause blood circulation problems, menstrual pain, brown menstruation, etc.
