What causes dark blood during menstruation?

Women usually encounter some problems during their menstrual cycle, and these problems reflect whether the female body is healthy. So what are the reasons why women's menstrual blood turns dark? Let’s take a look at the experts’ introduction below!

Dark menstruation is considered to be caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the menstrual blood has been stagnant in the uterus for a long time. Lack of menstruation is generally caused by the following reasons: endocrine abnormalities, such as abnormal secretion of various hormones or anovulation; in addition, when the endometrium is abnormal, such as endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial lesions or artificial abortion, curettage causing thin endometrium, endometrial adhesion, etc. Of course, occasional reduction in menstrual volume is often related to excessive mental stress, fatigue, weight loss, malnutrition, etc. Once there is a continuous reduction in menstrual volume, it should be checked as soon as possible to confirm the cause of the scanty menstruation and then treat it symptomatically.

If the menstrual blood is black, it is considered to be caused by retention of menstrual blood and delayed discharge. If the amount is not much, it is also normal. It can also be seen in irregular menstruation, hormone level disorders, endometrial diseases and liver qi stagnation. It is recommended to do six sex hormone tests first. The clinical significance of the six sex hormone tests is to understand the female endocrine function and diagnose diseases related to endocrine disorders by measuring the sex hormone levels. The six commonly used sex hormones are follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), testosterone (T), and prolactin (PRL), which basically meet the needs of clinicians for screening of endocrine disorders and general understanding of physiological functions. Currently, you can take Chinese patent medicines for nourishing blood and regulating menstruation, such as Xiaoyao Pills and Qizhi Xiangfu Pills.

The above is the advice given by experts when dealing with dark menstrual blood in women. We must pay attention to our condition during menstruation. Once a problem occurs, we must go to the hospital to consult a doctor in time to avoid some problems that may cause harm to the body! I hope I can help friends in need, and I also wish all women good health!
