Why is my period black?

Many women find that their menstrual blood is darker during menstruation, and sometimes even black. The main reason for this is that women's blood stagnates in the uterus for a long time. Generally speaking, it happens when female patients eat some relatively cold food during menstruation, or catch a cold during menstruation. If the patient does not receive timely treatment, the menstrual volume may decrease. In severe cases, amenorrhea may also occur. Therefore, female patients must pay attention to their own care during menstruation. Don't drink cold water and don't touch anything cold. Keep a happy mood.
