The first day of menstruation is very dirty

It is normal to have very dirty black residue on the first day of menstruation. Menstrual blood is generally dark red. In addition to blood, it also contains uterine wall debris, cervical mucus and fallen vaginal squamous epithelial cells. There is a lot of necrotic tissue in menstrual blood, so it will appear dark red or close to black soy sauce color. Because menstrual blood contains prostacyclin and a large amount of free fatty acid lysozymes from the uterine wall, menstrual blood generally does not coagulate. Blood clots can only occur in cases of heavy bleeding. If only the color of menstrual blood changes, without changes in the menstrual cycle or the amount of menstruation, no treatment is needed.

The first day of menstruation is black and dirty. This phenomenon is generally caused by too little menstrual blood and poor menstrual blood discharge. This can be seen in gynecological inflammatory diseases such as endometritis, or caused by gynecological diseases such as cervical adhesions and intrauterine adhesions; it can also be seen in the uterine cold often mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine. This is because women experience cold stimulation before and after their menstrual period, such as eating cold food, which causes menstrual blood to flow out smoothly. Patients can take Xinsheng Biotechnology Granules, Motherwort Paste, Golden Chicken Capsules and other medicines for treatment.

It is normal to have black residue on the first day of menstruation. When the menstrual period just comes, the bleeding is relatively small, and the blood stays in the uterine cavity and vagina for a long time. The discharged blood will be dark brown and look very dirty. If there are no abnormal symptoms, just ignore it. Gradually, the menstrual blood will increase and the color will turn red. Generally, the menstrual period will be over in 3-7 days. During menstruation, pay attention to environmental hygiene, change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently, keep the perineum clean, strictly prohibit sexual intercourse and sitz baths, prevent intrauterine infection, do not eat cold, spicy or irritating foods, do not drink alcohol, and do not do physical labor.

The menstrual flow is relatively small on the first day of menstruation, and the blood volume begins to increase after the second day. On the first day, the color is darker and there are some black residues. This is normal. It is the blood accumulated in the uterus that is discharged. It is because the uterine wall has just fallen off. As long as there is no discomfort, don't worry. Observe again. On the second or third day, the color will generally return to normal gradually.
