First day of menstruation

There are often many problems with menstruation, such as delayed menstruation, amenorrhea, and menopause. Menstruation means that there will be bleeding from the lower body. Problems with menstruation can be seen from the color of the blood. Bright red is the most normal, while some people's color is brown, and some people's color is black. However, many people do not know the reason for this situation. So why is the blood brown on the first day of menstruation?

Brown menstrual blood is one of the manifestations of irregular menstruation. Normal menstruation is non-coagulated and dark red in color. The blood is mixed with sloughed endometrial flakes, cervical mucus, and vaginal epithelial cells. The blood does not coagulate, so there are no blood clots. What is the reason for brown menstrual blood? The amount of menstrual blood varies from person to person. Generally, it is normal to have blood volume between 30 and 80 ml. If the amount of brown menstrual blood is small, it means that the menstruation is irregular. It may be mainly due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the menstrual blood has been stagnant in the uterus for a long time. Dysmenorrhea is related to this and is a kind of irregular menstruation.

The reason why women have scanty and brown menstrual flow is most likely related to endometrial lesions in women. Common situations include curettage causing thin endometrium, endometrial dysplasia, endometrial tuberculosis, etc. Secondly, long-term use of contraceptives by women can also cause a decrease in menstrual volume. Therefore, women with light brown menstrual flow should pay enough attention.

There are many reasons for the small amount of brown menstruation. Problems with the pituitary gland, ovaries, and uterus may cause irregular menstruation. Excessive mental stress, environmental changes, malnutrition and other problems can also cause irregular menstruation. Usually you must pay attention to proper rest and avoid excessive fatigue. In addition, women who have less brown menstrual flow are advised to go to the hospital for relevant gynecological examinations to prevent abnormalities in the ovaries, uterus, etc., and to detect and treat them in time.

The above is an introduction to what causes brown discharge on the first day of menstruation. After understanding it, we know that there are many reasons for this phenomenon. At the same time, we should also observe whether we have abdominal pain or symptoms of excessive or insufficient menstrual flow. In addition, we must maintain good living habits in our daily life, avoid eating raw, cold, or irritating foods, and be sure to maintain a happy mood.
