Why is my period blood brown​?Menstrual blood in brown color is usually caused by hypovolemia, endocrine disorders, endometritis, endometrial polyps and so on. It is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination to identify the cause of the problem and receive reasonable treatment according to the cause.

Low blood volume

In the early or late stage of menstruation, the bleeding volume is relatively small and the menstrual blood stays in the uterine cavity and vagina for a longer period of time, resulting in oxidation and a brown color. This is generally a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment. Pay attention to the subsequent menstrual cycle.

Endocrine disorders

Imbalance of hormone levels in the body, such as insufficient estrogen secretion and excessive progesterone, may affect the normal shedding and repair of the uterine lining, resulting in brownish menstrual blood. It is necessary to adjust one's lifestyle, maintain a regular schedule and a good state of mind. According to the doctor's advice, medications such as Dangdian Yiqiu Pill and Wuji Baifeng Pill may be used for treatment.

Endometritis

Inflammatory stimuli may lead to irregular shedding of the uterine lining. In this case, anti-infection treatment with Metronidazole tablets and Levofloxacin tablets can be used as advised by the doctor.

Endometrial polyps

If polyps are present, they can interfere with the surface area and normal shedding of the endometrium, resulting in an abnormal color of menstrual blood. Usually, hysteroscopy is needed and hysteroscopic polyp removal surgery is performed under the guidance of your doctor.

In your daily life, you can eat more food rich in phytoestrogens, such as soy milk and soybean skin, which will help promote the thickening of the endometrium and help improve the color of menstrual blood.
