The color of my menstrual period is brown

If the color of menstrual blood is dark brown when it first comes, it is normal, because the bleeding is relatively small when the menstrual period first comes, and the menstrual blood cannot be discharged from the body immediately, so it will stay in the uterine cavity and vagina for too long, which can easily make the menstrual blood appear dark brown. Usually on the 2nd or 3rd day of the menstrual period, as the menstrual flow increases, the color of the menstrual blood will change.

If there is gynecological inflammation, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, etc., it is easy to cause the menstruation to appear dark brown, and it will also cause vulvar itching, lower abdominal pain and other symptoms. If you eat spicy food or irritating foods during your menstrual period, such as chili peppers, raw onions, raw garlic, etc., this situation will also occur. If you wear thin clothes during your menstrual period and often eat cold food, it is easy to cause uterine cold, which will cause brown color during your menstrual period. If dark brown menstruation occurs during the menstrual period, you need to pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm. It is also recommended to take appropriate amounts of motherwort granules to promote the discharge of menstruation.

The color of menstruation is mostly dark red. If the menstrual period is dark brown, light in texture and slightly yellow in taste, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is caused by Qi deficiency, cold or heat. It can often be alleviated by paying attention to menstrual hygiene and cured through Chinese medicine treatment. Dark brown menstrual blood is caused by qi deficiency and blood stasis, and menstruation is deposited in the uterine cavity for a long time. It is also accompanied by a pungent smell, which indicates Trichomonas vaginitis. Taking medications may also cause changes in the color of your menstrual discharge. In general, abnormal menstrual blood color is a manifestation of irregular menstruation in women. It is best to go to the hospital and ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. It is more appropriate to use Chinese medicinal materials to regulate qi deficiency and blood stasis. They can nourish blood and qi, warm the meridians and dredge the collaterals. In this way, the dampness and turbidity can be eliminated, and the effects of nourishing blood and qi, promoting qi and blood circulation and dredge the meridians can be achieved.

The menstrual period will have different manifestations at different times during the entire cycle. It will be dark red on the first day, and turn red on the second day due to the increase in volume. When it is about to end, the endometrium will shed less and less, so brown secretions may be produced. If it is only dark brown in the first three to four days before the end, it is also considered normal. However, if there is brown discharge during the entire cycle, it indicates that there is an abnormality. There are many reasons for this: 1. When there is an endocrine hormone disorder, the disorder of female hormones can cause the endometrium to be thin and may even cause certain changes in color. 2. When there is qi stagnation and blood stasis, including uterine cold, or even anemia, the color of menstrual blood may turn brown. 3. When there are gynecological diseases, such as endometrial inflammation, ovarian cysts that reduce ovarian function, the menstrual period will also be dark brown, so you must go to the hospital for hormone therapy, including ultrasound examination to determine whether there is any abnormality.
