A member asked:
My period ended a week ago and today i started bleeding again but brown color blood. why is this?

Black = old blood : The color of the blood reflects how long the blood has been sitting inside your uterus or at the back of your vagina. Red is new. Brown or black blood is older and the blood products have started to break down. Some irregular bleeding like this from time to time is very common and usually resolves on its own in a few days to weeks.
