The last few days of my period were brown.

For women, we generally know that the color of normal menstruation is red and the amount is relatively moderate, but some women find that the color of their menstrual blood begins to turn dark brown in the last few days of their menstruation. They don’t know whether this is normal or due to some diseases of the body. It needs to be taken seriously, and the cause should be found out immediately and treated with medication.

Why is the last few days of menstruation dark brown?

The color of the last few days of menstruation is dark brown. The reason is that after a menstrual period, the menstrual flow starts to decrease from the increase to the end of the menstrual period. It is a process. The color of menstrual blood turns dark brown in the last few days of menstruation because the menstrual flow gradually decreases and becomes minimal. When exposed to the strong acid and alkaline environment in the vagina, the color will change to dark brown, or even dark red, or light brown. This is consistent with the characteristics of late menstrual bleeding or female secretions. It is a normal reaction and not a psychological distortion.

What should I do if the last few days of my period are gray and black?

If a pregnant woman has gray-black menstrual blood in the last few days of her menstrual period, she needs to choose appropriate treatment based on the cause of the disease. She needs to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of a tertiary hospital for a pelvic ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis of the disease. If the patient is diagnosed with gynecological inflammatory diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, endometritis, etc., the disease is caused by the use of cephalosporin antibiotics in combination with drugs such as metronidazole for treatment.

Usually, it is necessary to take measures to keep warm in daily life, avoid eating too cold or low-temperature food, pay attention to daily hygiene, maintain a positive attitude, avoid overwork and staying up late, etc., which will help improve the patient's condition.

How many days will the gray-black color last during menstruation?

The color of the menstrual period will become darker when it is about to end. This phenomenon usually lasts for 1-2 days and will not last long. Because when the menstrual period is about to end, the uterine wall is slowly repaired, and the menstrual blood remaining in the uterine cavity is not discharged from the vagina in time. When it is discharged, it has become old blood, so the color is relatively darker.

It is recommended to keep the private parts clean during the menstrual period and change sanitary napkins frequently to prevent bacterial infection. If the color of menstrual blood is darker throughout the entire menstrual cycle, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of a tumor and the possibility of disease in the uterine wall. Gynecological examination and B-ultrasound examination can be done when necessary, and any disease should be treated in time.
