What causes dark menstrual period?

Dark menstruation refers to the dark color of menstruation, which may be caused by colds, endometritis, endometrial tuberculosis, cesarean section incision diverticulum, uterine fibroids, etc.

1. Catch a cold:

If you like to eat raw or cold food, it will lead to a weak constitution, which will cause changes in the color and amount of menstruation.

2. Endometritis:

Endometritis is related to frequent sexual life and poor sexual health. It can easily damage the reproductive tract mucosa and cause infection and adhesion. During the menstrual period, symptoms such as increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstruation, and darker menstrual color may occur.

3. Endometrial tuberculosis:

It is an inflammation of the female genitals caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is more common in women aged 20 to 40. Blood transmission is the main mode of transmission. In the early stage, due to endometrial congestion and ulceration, the menstrual volume is excessive and the color is dark. In the late stage, due to varying degrees of damage to the endometrium, the menstruation is rare or amenorrhea occurs.

4. Cesarean section incision diverticulum:

Poor healing of the cesarean section incision leads to a defect and depression in the muscle layer at the incision, where menstrual blood can accumulate and be slowly discharged after menstruation, causing the menstrual blood to turn black.

5. Uterine fibroids:

It is best to occur during the reproductive period, which will lead to an imbalance in hormone levels, increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstruation. Submucosal myomas are accompanied by necrotic infection, and irregular vaginal bleeding or dark menstrual color may occur.

It is recommended that patients seek medical treatment in a timely manner, complete relevant examinations, and actively receive treatment after a clear diagnosis.
