Many causes: There are many causes for darker menses including older blood, less water in the blood, blood from fibroids, polyps or adenomyosis. Usually a benign issue, but if you  are concern, see a provider.

Question 2

why is my menstrual blood so thick, i have to push to pass tge blood?

Accepted Answer

Menses: You didn't say how old you were, or if this has always been a problem, if you have had any infections.  It is possible it is not a blood problem but a problem of cervical stenosis or other anatomical problems.  You need to go see a GYN for an evaluation.

Question 3

my menstrual blood is changing colors from  light red and then dark or even a brownish color, why?

Accepted Answer

Periods: Bright red blood is usually fresh bleeding. With the color changing to dark and then brownish this indicates old blood.

Question 4

in the beginning of my menstrual cycles i've been having very dark blood almost black, this recently started happening. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Normal variation : Sometimes the period changes, with color or amount of flow being different. Dark blood is. Blood that's been around for several days and is just coming out very slowly. Occasionally irregular bleeding can be due to an infection in the cervix or uterus so consider getting an exam.

Question 5

ok im on my menstrual cycle and i've had dark brown blood for 3 days why?

Accepted Answer

Dark blood: The color of menstrual blood may vary. The longer the blood stays in the uterus, the darker it becomes so chances are you are expelling the blood that's stayed there for a while. If the flow is the same as always and the duration is unchanged as well as timing, i'd not worry.

Question 6

i just started my menstrual cycle and the blood is a dark brown, kind of black color. is this cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

No: A dark brown appearance of menstrual blood at the beginning or end of bleeding is normal. This is due to the blood being slower in getting from your uterus to the end of your vagina. When your flow is minimal, the blood often has time to start breaking down as it's expelled from your body, giving it that dark brown color. It is not cause for concern.

Question 7

can implantation bleeding occur at cycle day 20? i lightly bled for 5 days with no regular menstrual symptoms. blood was dark/brown/pink ?

Accepted Answer

Implantation bleed: Implantation bleeding is much more common on the internet than in real life. It occurs rarely and exclusively in someone who is pregnant. The only way to know if someone had implantation bleeding or just irregular menstrual bleeding is to wait and see if you are pregnant. If your test is positive then this was implantation bleeding. If it is negative then it is just irregular menstrual bleeding.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Common: Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections &amp;   hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do  a home pregnancy test .  There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

Question 9

what does very dark red blood in menstrual cycle mean?

Accepted Answer

Color of blood: The color of the blood from a menstrual cycle has to do with its components. A cycle is the lining of the uterus sloughing off because it is not being used to house an embryo (combination of an egg and sperm). Every month your body prepares itself to be pregnant and when it is not the uterus expels the unused material, which is your period.
