What is the cause of black menstrual blood?

Women have their periods every month, and normal menstruation is a sign of women's health. However, if a woman's menstrual blood is black, it means that there is a problem in some parts of the body.

First, Qi deficiency and blood stasis

If a woman's menstrual period is irregular, the amount of menstruation is heavy or light, the color is dark purple with blood clots, and the menstruation is not smooth, it may be caused by Qi deficiency and blood stasis. If it is caused by qi deficiency and blood stasis, it is often accompanied by abdominal pain and breast pain during menstruation.

Second, blood coldness causes

If the menstrual cycle is delayed, the menstrual volume is reduced, the menstrual blood is dark in color with blood clots, and there is pain in the lower abdomen and chills, this may be caused by blood cold. Blood cold means that the human body has been invaded by dampness, resulting in cold stagnation, qi stagnation, blood stasis, and poor blood circulation. Specific manifestations include cold hands and feet, dark yellow complexion, lower abdominal pain, delayed menstruation, etc. Therefore, women must keep warm during their menstrual period to prevent catching a cold, which may cause fever or colds.

Third, kidney deficiency causes

Generally speaking, women with kidney deficiency will have irregular menstrual cycles, relatively less menstrual flow, and reddish or dark red menstrual color. Kidney deficiency may also be accompanied by symptoms such as low back pain, weak legs, tinnitus, dizziness, lower abdominal pain, and frequent urination at night. At this time, it is necessary to treat kidney function problems and regulate menstruation.

Fourth, blood heat causes

Blood heat is divided into true heat and false fire, either of which may cause the menstruation to appear gray.

Fifth, Qi and blood deficiency

Early or delayed menstrual period, increased or decreased menstrual volume, darker menstrual period tone, or abdominal pain, dizziness, fatigue, pale complexion, etc. These symptoms may be caused by Qi and blood deficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to replenish qi and blood.
