What is the normal menstrual color?

The color of menstrual blood is not fixed. It changes at different stages of the menstrual cycle. In the early stages of the menstrual cycle, the menstrual blood may appear darker reddish brown because the endometrium has just begun to shed. As the menstrual cycle progresses, the menstrual blood gradually turns bright red, which is the most common color of menstrual blood. Towards the end of the menstrual cycle, the menstrual flow decreases and the color may become lighter again, appearing pink or light red.

These color changes are normal physiological phenomena in most cases and there is no need to worry too much. However, if the menstrual color is abnormal, such as continuous dark black, bright red, too thick or with a lot of blood clots, or accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms such as odor and pain, it may be a sign of health problems.

Dark black menstrual blood may indicate poor blood circulation or cold accumulation in the body. Bright red and thick menstrual blood may indicate excessive body heat or inflammation. These abnormal conditions require women to pay enough attention and seek professional medical advice in time.

In addition to color changes, the menstrual cycle, duration, and menstrual volume are also important indicators for assessing whether menstruation is normal. Only by taking these factors into consideration can we have a more comprehensive understanding of our health status.

Female friends should pay close attention to their menstrual conditions and seek medical attention in time if they find any abnormalities to ensure the health and well-being of the body. At the same time, maintaining good living habits and mentality is also an important factor in maintaining normal menstruation.
