What is the reason for dark red menstrual blood

When your period comes, are you always concerned about the color of your menstrual blood? There are many different colors of menstrual blood, including light pink, bright red, brown, etc. Different tones may be able to reveal your physical condition. So, what is the color of your menstrual blood?

1. Light pink

During your menstrual period, if your menstrual blood is light pink in color, as if it has been diluted with water, then you may be pregnant. In addition, light pink menstrual discharge may also be caused by fluctuations in growth hormone. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, light pink menstrual blood is a symptom of blood deficiency.

2. Bright red

Bright red menstruation indicates that your uterine wall has been shedding at a certain rate. Until the end of the cycle, the uterus may be in a "clean" state. Generally speaking, this is nothing bad, but at the same time, you should also pay attention to whether the duration of menstruation is longer. If it exceeds the normal number of days, you should be alert.

3. Deep red

During the menstrual period, if the menstruation is dark red and there is blood clots discharged, there is no need to worry too much, because the uterus is excreting dirty blood at this time. However, if the duration of dark red menstrual period exceeds 3 days, it may be related to uterine fibroids. Therefore, you should be vigilant if the menstrual period is dark red.

4. Bright red

If the menstrual discharge is bright red, it may be an early symptom of vaginal infection. If it is accompanied by a strong odor, you should actively seek medical help.

5. Dark brown

Dark brown menstrual blood is not very healthy. It means that your menstrual period is not satisfactory and that the blood you discharge has been "accumulating" in your body for a long time. If the menstrual period is dark brown, it is recommended to go to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic for consultation and take Chinese herbal medicine to properly regulate the body.

6. Light brown or scanty menstruation

If you find that your menstrual flow is light brown and the amount is less on the two days with the heaviest menstrual flow, it may be caused by hormonal imbalance or it may be an early sign of pregnancy. Female friends should pay attention to it.
