Dark menstrual blood on the first day of menstruation

Women's menstruation usually occurs once a month. The amount of menstruation will be heavier in the early stage of menstruation, and will be much smaller in the later stage. Some women find that on the first day of their menstrual period, not only is the amount of blood heavy, but the blood is also dark in color and looks very thick.

In fact, I believe every woman has had the experience of having dark menstrual blood on the first day of menstruation, and they are very puzzled about it. Generally speaking, on the first day of menstruation, the color is mainly brown. This is because the endometrium is shed less at this time, so it cannot form blood flow to be discharged from the body, causing a small amount of menstrual blood to remain in the body, causing the color to become black and dark. If there are no other discomforts, it is a normal phenomenon and generally does not require special treatment.
