Experiencing old black period blood - what should I do?

Patient's Query

I'm experiencing old blood (black in colour)during my period from the first day to the fourth day(today)and the flow is same.Also it's the first time this has happened. I'm not bleeding fresh blood, which is concerning. What should I do?Typically, I bleed old blood only on the first day of my period, and by the night of the first day, I start to bleed fresh blood. However, this time, that's not the case, and it's now my fourth day, with only a small amount of old blood compared to my previous menstrual cycles

Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

Old blood appears darke­r in color. It's normal, but concerning if it's new or freque­nt. Stress, hormones might cause this. Note­ it down. If it persists, consult a doctor. Being worried is unde­rstandable. Lingering old blood during periods isn't unusual. Howe­ver, monitor such occurrences. Take­ advice from healthcare provide­rs if the issue doesn't re­solve itself. Sudden change­s demand professional opinion. Stay calm, but vigilant.

please visit a gynecologist or an infertility specialist who will assess your condition and give the necessary treatment to improve your chances of getting pregnant. PCOS-afflicted women often struggle to get pregnant, yet there are medications that can effectively alleviate the condition and restore fertility.

Do ipill delay periods? How effective is an ipill tablet when taken between 48-72 hours? And for how long can they delay periods and when should I opt for a preg. Test? After sex, she got her periods after 3-4 days (for 3 days which is normal in her case) and they were painless this time with clots. Was that the withdrawal bleeding? It's been a month and 7 days since last that last bleeding and she hasn't got her periods yet. Is it a possible pregnancy? (p.s sex happened on the day she was supposed to get her periods)

Female | 20

Does ipill delay periods? Yes if taken properly as prescribed periods delay due to ipill. The effectiveness of the i-pill decreases the longer you wait to take it and taking it within 48-72 hours is the most effective time frame.If your concerned do a pregnancy test around 2-3 weeks after the date of the last unprotected intercourse. This will give the most accurate result.

Hi my name is Patricia,im 40 years of age i just want to know i had my periods just for 2 days and im getting nauseous and dizziness,i did 3 pregnancy test it show very light second line but clinic show negative can i be pregnant

Female | 40

It's possible that you may be pregnant, but you shoulld confirm with a doctor. Sometimes a very faint line on a home pregnancy test can indicate early pregnancy, but it's best to have a medical professional confirm the results with a blood test or a more sensitive pregnancy test. Additionally, there can be other reasons why you're experiencing nausea and dizziness, so discuss your symptoms with your doctor.
