A member asked:
My period was a week late and now it is dark brown and thick like tar. my stomach is very distended, too. is the brown blood bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The brown blood is not bad. The brown color means that it is old blood, usually from a slow lighter bleed/period. However, if the brown blood is occurring after a full normal flowing period, this pattern should be evaluated by a gynecologist.
