Why is the color black when the menstrual flow is less?

Patient's question:

Over the past two months, my menstrual flow has been quite light, and the color is different from before—it's very dark now. I really don't know why it suddenly changed like this. My body doesn't feel any abnormality, but is it possible that my period is irregular? I also don't know how to take care of it. So, I wanted to ask you what to do about a light menstrual flow and pale color?

Doctor's answer:

Menstruation is generally a slightly darker or bright red color. A menstrual flow of 20-70ml is considered normal. If it exceeds 20ml, it is considered menstrual hypomenorrhea. There are several reasons for the recurrence of menstrual hypomenorrhea, such as severe blood and qi deficiency, vaginitis, endometritis, anemia, and other diseases, all of which may lead to abnormal menstruation. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thorough examination and receive timely symptomatic treatment based on the examination results.
