A member asked:
What does a brown, stringy and gritty menstrual period mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood is blood: Menstrual blood can have a variety of appearances. The color and texture of blood reflects how long the blood has been sitting in the vagina and undergoing the process of oxidation. It does not reflect an underlying pathological condition.
