What causes dark menstrual period?

Generally speaking, the color of menstruation is dark red. If the color is darker than dark red, then there may be a problem with the body's endocrine system. Many factors can lead to this situation, such as excessive psychological stress, excessive dieting, gynecological diseases, etc., which may cause the color of menstruation to become darker.

The reasons for light menstrual flow and dark color are as follows

1. Women who diet excessively will experience less menstrual flow.

2. Women who have irregular work and rest schedules are prone to having scanty menstruation, because women are exposed to cold stimulation during menstruation, which can cause excessive contraction of blood vessels in the pelvic cavity, resulting in scanty menstruation or even amenorrhea.

3. Sulking or suffering from severe stimulation and psychological trauma can easily lead to light menstrual flow in girls. There may be other reasons for scanty menstruation: the most common ones are endocrine reasons, such as abnormal secretion of various hormones or anovulation, etc.

4. Dark-colored menstruation is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, and menstrual blood accumulates in the uterus for a long time.
