The reason why the first day of menstruation is small and black and how to regulate it

Twenty-eight days is not only a metabolic cycle, but also a normal menstrual cycle for women. The color of menstrual blood is different from normal bleeding, it is dark red. However, for some people, the first day of menstruation is light and dark in color, which is a sign of illness. Today we will tell you why the first day of menstruation is less and darker.

Normal menstruation is mostly dark red. When menstrual blood stays in the uterus for too long, it will turn dark red or even black. This is caused by poor circulation of menstrual blood. To deal with the blackening of menstrual blood, you must first identify the cause and then prescribe the right medicine. The reasons for light menstrual flow and dark menstruation on the first day are:

1. Poor uterine contraction ability: The shed endometrium and menstrual blood flow out of the body under the pressure of the uterus. When the uterus contracts, it compresses the menstrual blood out of the body. If the uterus has poor contraction ability, the menstrual blood will not flow out of the body easily. If it stays in the body for a long time, it will easily turn black.

2. Retroverted uterus: In women with retroverted uterus, the position of the uterus causes the cervix to be higher than the uterus, so that menstrual blood cannot flow out of the body. Therefore, menstrual blood accumulates in the uterus for a long time and turns dark red or black.

3. Cold body: Generally, people with cold body have slow blood circulation, and due to the cold body, the menstrual blood is exposed to the cold and coagulates, so there will be black or dark black blood clots in the menstrual blood.

In addition, patients with scanty menstruation need to pay attention to the following aspects in their daily lives:

1. Avoid having sex: Having sex during menstruation can easily lead to gynecological inflammation in women. During sexual excitement, the negative pressure in the abdomen can easily cause the broken endometrium to flow back to other places, causing endometriosis.

2. Don’t eat too much sweets: Many women think that sweets can improve dysmenorrhea, and many women like to relieve dysmenorrhea by eating desserts. In fact, eating a lot of sweets during the menstrual period not only cannot eliminate dysmenorrhea, but also easily cause blood sugar abnormalities and aggravate discomfort symptoms.

3. Actively treat dysmenorrhea: Many women will experience dysmenorrhea, but many people think that dysmenorrhea will disappear as long as they get married. This idea is incorrect, because there are many reasons that cause dysmenorrhea in women. Some gynecological diseases can also cause dysmenorrhea, such as endometriosis. If it is not actively treated, it will cause serious consequences.

If you find that you have irregular menstruation, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Below, the author introduces several drugs for treating scanty menstruation for your reference:
