What's wrong with chocolate color menstruation?

Women have their periods every month, and menstruation is a healthy physiological activity. The color of the menstrual blood can be used to determine whether there are gynecological diseases. Normal menstrual blood should be bright red. Some people have blood clots in their menstrual blood, which is normal. This is because the endometrial fragments are being discharged from the body. However, if the menstrual blood is chocolate-colored, it is abnormal. So why is women's menstrual blood chocolate-colored?

The menstrual blood that comes every month is the blood flowing in the blood vessels in the body, and it should be bright red. However, because menstrual blood is mixed with sloughed endometrial fragments, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells, it looks dark in color and is not as bright red as the blood flowing out of broken skin. In addition, there are some small thin fragments mixed in the menstrual blood. In particular, some people have less menstrual blood, and the color becomes darker as the blood stays in the uterus and vagina for a longer time. Therefore, while paying attention to the color of menstrual blood, you should also pay attention to the menstrual cycle, duration of menstruation, amount of menstruation, and whether you have any discomfort.

A small amount of chocolate-colored menstruation is certainly an abnormal phenomenon. Female friends must pay enough attention to it and do not underestimate a small amount of chocolate-colored menstruation. Over time, it will lead to more adverse reactions.

Light menstrual flow (chocolate brown) Generally speaking, light menstrual flow is caused by low estrogen levels. Estrogen stimulates the thickening of the endometrium in preparation for conception. If conception does not occur, the proliferating endometrium will shed and bleed to form menstruation. Low estrogen levels in the body can cause the endometrium to not grow thick enough and result in less menstrual bleeding.

In addition, another possible reason for the appearance of scanty chocolate-colored menstruation is uterine cold. Patients must pay attention to taking effective measures for treatment in a timely manner. When treating uterine cold, they should treat the opposite side with the positive treatment, and treat the cold with heat. Invigorating Qi and nourishing blood, warming the meridians, dispersing cold and unblocking collaterals are effective methods to relieve uterine cold. Eat less foods with high cholesterol, such as vegetables such as bitter gourd and cabbage, fruits such as watermelon and pear, and seafood. Pay attention to diet nutrition and regular work and rest schedule, and don't stay up late.
