Causes of abnormal menstrual color

1. Female anemia: The color of menstrual blood of women with anemia is pink or light red, and the menstrual blood is as thin as water. The menstrual period is generally short, and it ends in about 3 to 4 days. Such women also usually feel dizzy and have dry and rough skin. Although they do not have severe dysmenorrhea during menstruation, they will have symptoms of lower abdominal discomfort and back pain.

2. Affected by cold air: If a woman is attacked by cold air, her menstruation will usually be delayed and last longer, usually more than 7 days. The color of the menstrual blood is dark black or red, with dark red blood clots in the middle. Such women will feel cold in their abdomen during menstruation, and if they have dysmenorrhea, the pain will be aggravated.

3. Poor blood circulation: Women with poor fluid circulation usually feel bloated before menstruation and suffer from constipation during menstruation. The menstrual blood is dark red and thick, and sometimes dark red blood clots flow out. The menstrual blood is heavier and the menstrual period is longer. Due to poor blood circulation, dysmenorrhea can be so painful that it is unbearable, and you may even be unable to walk. It can only be relieved by painkillers. If a woman suffers from this condition for a long time, she may also have endometriosis or uterine fibroids.

If the menstrual blood clots are too much and black in color, you should consider other reasons.

1. Gynecological inflammation: Gynecological inflammation may induce black blood clots during menstruation. Black blood clots during menstruation may also be caused by bloody leucorrhea. By observing the leucorrhea, we can preliminarily determine whether there is gynecological inflammation.

If there is blood in the leucorrhea, it is a symptom of gynecological inflammation. Bloody leucorrhea is common in gynecological inflammations such as severe cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endometrial cancer, and submucous uterine fibroids. If these gynecological inflammations are not treated in time, they may lead to ectopic pregnancy.

2. Ectopic pregnancy: Ectopic pregnancy can cause dark menstruation. Ectopic pregnancy can cause fallopian tube rupture and gestational sac rupture, which can easily cause heavy bleeding, shock, and even death. Ectopic pregnancy refers to the growth of a fertilized egg outside the uterus, which will affect normal fertility.

3. Irregular menstruation: Black blood clots during menstruation are one of the symptoms of irregular menstruation. Some are due to excessive fatigue, mental depression, eating disorders, excessive anger, and some may be due to bad living habits, leading to endocrine disorders. If endocrine disorders are not treated in time, they will cause irregular menstruation.
