Patient's question:
On the first day, there was stomach and lower abdominal pain with blood clots. Unable to drink or touch cold water or cold food. In the last few days, it turned black and red. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It is normal for menstrual blood to be brown in color. Many women have abnormal menstrual color. Sometimes, coffee-colored blood may flow before or after menstruation (appearing as dark red, viscous, and in small amounts). This is usually due to poor uterine contractions, which cause some menstrual blood to pool in the uterus and turn black or brown. Additionally, cervical inflammation and ovulatory bleeding can also present with similar symptoms.
