A member asked:
Hey today is my first period day and it's black in colour and flow is very low is it some kind of infection?

Old blood: Dark blood means that the blood has undergone changes with time and is oxidized. Unless you have fever, significant abdominal pain unrelated to your period or foul odor, I would not be concerned with it. best wishes Dr M
