Different Types of Menstrual Blood
Black blood 🖤 can appear at the beginning or end of a person’s period. The color is typically a sign of old blood or blood that has taken longer to leave the uterus and has had time to oxidize, first turning brown or dark red and then eventually becoming black.
also indicate a blockage inside a person’s vagina. Other symptoms of a vaginal blockage can include,
foul-smelling discharge
fever
difficulty urinating
Bright red blood ♥️: indicates fresh blood and a steady flow. A period may start with bright red bleeding and darken towards the end of the period. Some people may find that their blood stays bright red throughout their period.
Pink blood 💓: or spotting can occur when period blood mixes with cervical fluid. Using hormonal birth control can lower estrogen levels in the body, which can lead to a lighter flow with a pinkish hue during periods. Sexual intercourse can also create small tears in the vagina or the cervix. Blood from these tears can mix with vaginal fluids and exit a person’s body as pink discharge. This can also be a sign of blood deficiency which means you aren’t producing enough red blood cells.
Orange blood 🧡: or discharge often indicates an infection, such as bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis. People with orange blood should check for other telltale symptoms, such as vaginal itching, discomfort, and foul-smelling discharge.
