Blood on sanitary napkin

A woman's menstrual period is an important indicator of her physical and mental health. Therefore, women must pay attention to the color of their menstrual blood and the state of their body during their menstrual period. If the color of menstrual blood is abnormal, it means that their physical condition is also abnormal. Is it normal if the menstrual blood is gray and black?

1. Many women will find that their menstrual blood has turned black a few days before their period, and the color of the menstrual blood on the sanitary napkin is also darker. In this case, you should consider whether you have taken calcium supplements recently, because if you have taken calcium supplements in a short period of time, it will cause the blood to be dark black, which is a normal reaction.

2. Some women have darker menstrual color due to uterine cold. If you have uterine cold, you should also have menstrual pain. If you have menstrual pain and darker menstrual color, you need to take some medicines that are helpful for the recovery of uterine cold, such as donkey-hide gelatin which is helpful for expelling cold.

3. If a woman finds that the blood discharged from her vagina is black during her menstrual period, it may be because the body has taken some medicines containing hormonal ingredients during her menstrual period. The hormonal ingredients produced by these medicines will cause abnormal menstruation. Some girls do not change sanitary napkins very frequently. The color of blood will change if it stays on the sanitary napkin for a long time, so try to change the sanitary napkin every two to three hours.

No matter what situation causes the darkening of menstrual blood, you should carefully observe and identify it before making a decision. The color of menstruation itself will be inaccurate in the first few days of menstruation, so you will get a more accurate evaluation after observing it for a few more days. If during your period not only does the color of your menstrual blood turn darker, but the characteristics of your menstrual period also show large or small clots and you also experience menstrual pain, you need to go to the hospital for a physical examination to see if you have other gynecological infections.
