What if my menstrual period becomes darker?

Darker menstrual color may be caused by normal phenomena, dietary factors, endometritis, etc., and can be treated according to the cause of the disease.

1. Normal phenomenon:

Menstruation is generally caused by the periodic shedding of the endometrium, which will cause vaginal bleeding. Before and after menstruation, the color of menstrual blood will gradually deepen, because the amount of menstrual blood will gradually decrease and the menstrual blood will oxidize in the vagina for a long time. If the patient has no other physical discomfort, generally no special treatment is required and a good lifestyle can be maintained.

2. Dietary factors:

If patients often eat raw and cold foods, such as ice cream, ice cubes, etc. in the early stages of menstruation, these foods can easily lead to slower blood circulation and may also cause poor menstrual blood discharge, which can be improved by adjusting diet or applying hot compresses.

3. Endometritis:

Endometritis is a common gynecological disease that may be caused by infection with pathogenic microorganisms. Patients may have symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, and abnormal menstruation. After the disease occurs, you can take drugs such as levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets, amoxicillin capsules, and cephalexin dispersible tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the above reasons, the cause of uterine fibroids can also be considered, and patients can also be treated surgically. Most patients can improve their symptoms through active and effective treatment.
