A member asked:

Last few months i have light periods with brown to very dark brown blood. this is new to me, normally i had normal periods. why did my color change?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Old blood: Often dark blood is seen with "light periods" because the blood that slowly leaves is not bright red color but dark red or brown. The reason you are having light periods is most likely because of your hormone balance of estrogen and progesterone. Having light periods is not something you need to be concerned about.
