Is it normal for my period to turn dark towards the end?

Generally, the color of menstrual blood will change gradually. The color is lighter when menstruation first comes, and then it will gradually deepen. In the end, it may become a dark red color, a bit like black. If it remains black, it may be caused by kidney deficiency or deficiency of both Qi and blood.

1. Dark menstrual period indicates kidney deficiency

Women with kidney deficiency will have irregular menstrual cycles, more or less menstrual volume, and red or dark red color, and are often accompanied by symptoms such as blurred vision, back pain, dizziness, and excessive urination. If the tongue becomes pale or the pulse becomes slow, we need to nourish the kidneys and regulate menstruation in time.

2. Black hair due to deficiency of Qi and blood

When a woman's menstrual cycle is prolonged and becomes light in color and thin in texture, accompanied by weakness in the limbs, pain in the lower abdomen, pale complexion, fatigue, weak pulse and pale red tongue, she also needs to replenish both Qi and blood.

3. Qi stagnation and blood stasis have black color

Women with irregular menstrual cycles will have different menstrual periods each time. Sometimes the amount of menstrual flow is heavy and sometimes it is light. Most of the time, the flow is purple-red and accompanied by blood clots. There will also be symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, chest tightness, and dark spots on the tongue. At this time, treatment should be carried out by promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating qi and relieving pain.

4. Long-term constipation in women

Frequent constipation can also cause irregular menstruation. If the rectum is overfilled with feces, the cervix will be forced to move forward and the uterus will tilt backward. If the uterus remains in a tilted position for a long time, symptoms of low back pain and menstrual disorders will occur.
