What is the reason for dark blood streaks after giving birth?

Patient's question:

When the baby was 17 months old, she had her first menstruation. The period lasted for 7 days, and after 3-4 days of cleanliness, she started to have black blood streaks. The symptoms disappeared after 5-6 days. Now she has had her second menstruation, and 2 days after it ended, she started to have black blood streaks again. It doesn't hurt or itch. What is wrong with her?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, if you have had menstruation for more than a year after giving birth, with black blood streaks appearing after the period ends, it could be due to incomplete shedding of the endometrium. Alternatively, it may be caused by unstable hormone levels. You can first wait and see. Since it's your first menstruation after giving birth, wait and see for two or three cycles. If it continues to be like this, you may need to regulate it with traditional Chinese medicine.
