1, menstrual blood color represents health status.
1, bright red blood
Fresh and bright red is usually seen on the first day of menstruation, because it is the latest endometrial blood that falls off the uterus. If you are pregnant, it may be implantation bleeding. But if you have never had bright red menstrual blood, it may be a ruptured cyst, so you'd better see a doctor.
2. Pink blood
Pink blood usually appears in light menstrual period. Sometimes ovulation may also lead to pink blood or even implantation bleeding. In some cases, pink spots may also be signs of sexually transmitted diseases. So if you seldom bleed pink blood, you'd better see a doctor.
3. Brown blood appears
Brown blood usually appears on the second and third day of menstruation, usually older endometrial blood, which is completely normal. But if it smells fishy, it may also be an infection.
4. Black blood appears
Black menstrual blood is usually the old blood that falls off the uterine wall, which you can experience at the end of menstruation. If you are pregnant, it may be a sign of miscarriage. If the pressure is high, it will delay menstruation and lead to the darkening of menstrual blood.
2. There are many reasons for abnormal menstrual blood.
1, because of uterine polyps
Small lumps on the endometrium are called uterine polyps, which may cause abnormal bleeding and irregular menstruation. If the polyp is not big, you may not need surgery, just take care of the uterus.
2, uterine fibroids.
Uterine myoma is a kind of tumor, which is benign, but it usually causes menorrhagia and menstrual discomfort. If you are very uncomfortable, the doctor may recommend you to have it removed surgically.
3. Hormone imbalance
If your hormones are out of balance, it may also lead to a lot of bleeding. Both estrogen and progesterone are related to your menstrual cycle. If they are unbalanced, gynecological diseases will occur.
4. Blood syndrome
If you have hemorrhagic diseases, such as hemophilia, it will also lead to massive bleeding during menstruation. The blood of hemophiliacs is difficult to coagulate, so we should pay special attention to this problem.
5. Other common diseases
Other diseases may also lead to massive menstrual bleeding, such as endometriosis, pelvic infection, cancer, liver diseases and thyroid diseases. So if you have an unusually heavy menstrual flow, you'd better see a doctor.
3. Women's menstrual flow in their lifetime
Under normal circumstances, women's menstrual cycle begins at 12- 14 years old, and gradually becomes regular after 1-2 years old. Menstruation gradually stops around the age of 45, and the time after menopause is called menopause. According to the survey, the amount of female menstrual bleeding is about 75 ml, and the total amount of bleeding is about 27,000 ml (excluding childbirth bleeding), which is equivalent to the total blood volume of 5.5 people weighing 60 kg.
There are so many physiological bleeding in women's life, but it does not affect their health, and there are a lot of data showing that the average life expectancy of women is higher than that of men. Although the reasons here are very complicated, from the perspective of blood physiology, it is related to the unique physiological characteristics of women.
Because of this long-term small amount of bleeding, women stimulate the function of hematopoietic organs in the body more vigorously, which is not only conducive to improving blood circulation in the body, but also comprehensively improving the activity function of various organs and tissues in the body.
This unique physiological feature of women has brought them health and longevity, or it can be said that the "creator" gave the great mother of mankind a special "gift".
