What causes black vaginal discharge before menstruation?

We all know the importance of leucorrhea to women. If the leucorrhea is normal, it means that the woman is healthy and does not have any gynecological diseases or other problems. However, if the leucorrhea is abnormal, it is also a problem faced by many women. Do not ignore abnormal vaginal discharge. You need to find out the cause in time and find the corresponding treatment method to avoid gynecological diseases, especially some problems that are prone to occur before and after menstruation. So why is the vaginal discharge black before menstruation? This must be a problem with abnormal leucorrhea, so we need to understand the relevant situation in detail.

In the early stage of menstruation, the leucorrhea is brown, which is considered to be a sign of menstruation; in the late stage of menstruation, the leucorrhea is brown, which is considered to be caused by the menstrual blood not being completely clean. If the leucorrhea is brown 3 to 4 days after the menstruation ends, it may be caused by insufficient estrogen levels, insufficient luteal function, or incomplete luteal atrophy. If the leucorrhea continues to be brown, it may be caused by cervicitis, endometritis, or cervical cancer.

Leucorrhea is a "barometer" of women's health. Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is white, sometimes transparent, sometimes sticky, has no odor, and is in small amount. But sometimes there will be some changes in leucorrhea, such as curd-like, bloody, yellow watery and black leucorrhea. These symptoms mean that female friends' leucorrhea is abnormal, which means that the female body is in an unhealthy state.

The first thing to consider is ovulation bleeding, that is, mid-menstrual bleeding (leucorrhea with blood), which refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. Secondly, if the leucorrhea is black for a long time, it should be considered as pathological leucorrhea bleeding, which may be a gynecological inflammation.
