You may notice different colors of menstrual blood that may range from bright red to orange, brown to black. Though most colors may be considered healthy or normal, some may be a reason to visit your doctor.
I will show you why what each colour means.
Number 1. Bright red bleeding.
This colour is almost always a good sign, as it indicates that your period is normal and so it will be. Anyway, if it lasts more than eight days without a change, you should consult your doctor.
It is super normal for women at some point in their period to have a strong bleeding and in each girl, it happens at a different time. If you have three or more days of a very abundant blood flow, you shouldn’t hesitate to see your doctor.
Number 2. Bleeding Pink.
Pink period blood may also be a result of low estrogen levels. Especially if it’s accompanied by a lighter-than-usual flow, or if you work out a lot.
Although, this type does not usually last for days, but if it happens to be so in all menstruations, it can be a sign of infections, hormonal fluctuations, or early pregnancy.
Number 3. Blood spots.
This usually happens at unexpected times, it maybe a few days before the period indicating that your body is preparing for menstruation, or it may also indicate a menstrual imbalance.
Number 4. Dark Brown Bleeding.
Many women are often worried when they see this colour, but you should know that it is super normal. It can be the last blood of your menstruation or the beginning of a new one.
It’s your body’s way of cleaning out your uterus and vagina and preparing it for your next menstrual cycle.
Just be careful if you have an orange or a yellow colour mixed with the brown, as it may also be an infectin.
