If menstruation is normal, it comes once a month and at the same time every month. The color of menstruation is dark red, without blood clots, and the menstrual flow is not high, and there will be no abdominal pain. If menstruation is not within this range, it means there is a problem. What's going on with black blood during menstruation?
A normal menstrual period is characterized by a dark red color that does not solidify, with a total volume of about 20 to 60 milliliters. When there is excessive bleeding, blood clots may form, which appear black in color. In addition, the blackening of the color during menstruation is also related to inflammation. The normal color during menstruation is red, but if inflammatory cells such as cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells infiltrate during menstruation, the color is easily black. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, menstrual bleeding can lead to blackening due to factors such as qi stagnation, blood stasis, and cold coagulation.
If black blood is found during menstruation, the cause should be identified and treated accordingly. At the same time, it is also important to change underwear frequently, choosing soft and breathable cotton underwear. After cleaning, it should be exposed to the sun for disinfection. Also, it is important to maintain a happy spirit and prevent mental stimulation and fluctuating emotions.
During menstruation, it is important to maintain cleanliness, pay attention to hygiene, and avoid infection. And also do a good job of keeping warm, avoid being stimulated by cold, and avoid excessive fatigue. Foods that are raw, cold, or stimulating should not be eaten, and more vegetables and fruits should be consumed. If there is a high amount of menstrual blood, brown sugar should not be eaten.
