What is the reason for dark menstrual blood?

Patient's question:

I am 30 years old this year, and I have never had irregular periods before. This time, it's almost non-existent. A little came out, and it was black. I don't know if it's my period. I had sexual intercourse last month.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your condition is preliminarily considered to be menstrual irregularity, which may be related to irregular environmental and dietary habits. Overtime work, endocrine disorders, and excessive mental stress can all affect menstrual irregularity. It is recommended that you use early pregnancy test strips to check for pregnancy. If pregnancy is ruled out, you can visit a local reputable hospital for a face-to-face consultation with a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for syndrome differentiation and treatment. Patients with menstrual irregularity can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, also use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. Appropriate dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
