What is the reason for menstrual blood being chocolate-colored?

Patient's question:

I was 13 when I got my first period, which was on February 5th. The blood was chocolate-colored on the first day and turned black the next day. The flow wasn't heavy, but there was a little bit of blood in it.

Doctor's answer:

The hypothalamus and pituitary gland adjustment functions of teenage girls are not yet mature, and stable cyclical adjustments have not yet been established between them and the ovaries. Therefore, menstrual disorders occurring again within a short period may be a normal phenomenon. Pay attention to healthcare. After a period of self-regulation, it should be possible to transition to normal menstruation. The above is advice on the question "Why is the menstrual blood brown?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
