menstruation can sometimes be a bit of a mystery, especially when things don't look quite right. If you've noticed that your menstrual blood is black, it might be causing you some concern. Don't worry, though! Black menstrual blood isn't always a sign of something serious. It's actually pretty common and often just means that the blood is older and has had more time to oxidize. When blood is exposed to air, it turns darker, which is why you might see it as a darker color, including black. However, if you also experience severe pain, unusual odor, or other symptoms, it's best to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying issues. Remember, every body is different, and what's normal for one person might not be for another. Stay informed and take care of yourself! 🩸👩‍⚕️🔍
