Why do I have black discharge post-menstrual cycle?

Patient's Query

I am having black discharge after the 15days of Menstrual cycle

Gynaecology

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

It's not uncommon and often has a simple explanation. Sometimes, this can happen due to older blood taking longer to leave your body, causing it to appear black. It could also be related to hormonal changes or even certain infections. To be safe, it's a good idea to consult with a gynecologist who can assess your symptoms and provide personalized advice. In the meantime, staying hydrated, maintaining good hygiene, and keeping track of any other symptoms can be helpful.

আমার থাইরয়েড এর সমস্যা,,, 4 বছর আগে ধরা পড়েছিল,,, কিনতু তখন। থেকে আমার হেভি পিরিয়ড সমস্যা হয়ে দাঁড়িয়েছে,,, প্রিমুলেট n ওষুধ টি আমাকে ডাক্তার পরামর্শ দিয়েছিলেন ,,, সেটা আমাকে প্রতিমাসে খেতে হয়,, নয়তো পিরিয়ড কমতে চায়না,, ভারী রক্ত পাত হতেই থাকে।।। কি ভাবে রেহাই পাবো এই সমস্যা থেকে?

থাইরয়েডের কারণে হরমোন ভারসাম্য নষ্ট হলে হেভি পিরিয়ড হতে পারে। প্রিমুলেট-N সাময়িকভাবে সাহায্য করে, কিন্তু দীর্ঘমেয়াদে সমাধানের জন্য হরমোন পরীক্ষা, থাইরয়েড নিয়ন্ত্রণ ও গাইনির পরামর্শে বিকল্প চিকিৎসা দরকার। নিয়মিত ফলোআপ ও লাইফস্টাইল পরিবর্তনেও উপকার হতে পারে।

I am wanting to come off the depo do I need to see my doctor before hand or can I just let it run out

Female | 20

You should ask doctor prior to stopping Depo injections. The discontinuation of this type of birth control without due notice can result in abnormal bleedings and other side effects. Before making any alterations to your birth control system, it is advisable that you consult a gynecologist.

My wife tuck pireod delay tablet. But we don't know she was pregnant

Female | 34

If your wife took a period delay tablet but didn’t realize she was pregnant, look for symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue. It can be dangerous to postpone menstruation while being expecting as it may affect the fetus. To ensure the safety of both the mother and the child, it is recommended to refrain from using the pills and consult with a gynecologist.

I am 27 year old girl ...I m unmarried but since 2 months .I have some problem in my private part which make me very uncomfortable ..I have itching and dryness problem in my private part ..

Female | 27

These can be caused by several factors such as the proper fit and way of wearing clothes use of fragrance products in the area. To treat your symptoms, try wearing cotton underwear, refrain from using fragrant products, and drink a lot of water as well. Besides, you might want to apply a very mild facial moisturizer suitable for that particular part. Clean it regularly and don't scratch to mitigate the irritation. Be well!

Dear Doctor I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek your expertise regarding some troubling changes I have been experiencing with my menstrual cycle. Historically, I have maintained regular periods, typically occurring on a predictable monthly schedule. However, over the past few months, I have observed a pattern of increasing irregularity. Specifically, my cycles have been increasingly delayed, with periods arriving two, four, and even five days later than expected. Most recently, I experienced a delay of eight days. Moreover, following the onset of my most recent period, I noticed an abnormal occurrence of spotting that lasted for approximately three days. This extended spotting has added to my concerns about my menstrual health. Additionally, I would like to highlight that the level of pain associated with my menstruation has become significantly more intense, to the point of being almost unbearable during some cycles. Given these developments, I am eager to understand the potential underlying causes and whether there are recommended steps I should take to address these issues. Your guidance and insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Naomi

Female | 25

Irregular cycles, increased pain, and unexpected spotting can stem from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, lifestyle changes, or medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid issues. It's important to consult with your gynecologist for a thorough evaluation to determine the exact cause. They may recommend tests or treatments to help manage your symptoms effectively. Remember, you're not alone in this, and seeking professional advice is a positive step towards understanding and improving your health.

Heavy, uneven periods could signal several issues. Hormone levels changing or underlying conditions may cause this. Watch for other red flags like pain or exhaustion. Proper nutrition, hydration, and rest help. If irregularities continue, consulting a gynecologist provides guidance.

35 Female with lower abdominal pains below the belly button, bilateral(on both the left and right sides) unilateral in nature(where one sided pain occurs). Sharp and pinpoint to same location for both left and right sides, directly across from each other. happening since October 2021, coincided with period first occurrence on right side 2021 thought it was a cyst at first. Went away until the second occurrence on June 19th, 2022(period cycle then was June 8th - 16th), right side. Went away and returned September 25th, 2022 on left side this time(period cycle for September 2022 was the 3rd through 11th), it occurred again in January 7th 2023 on the right side(period cycle for January 2023 a skipped period) at this point I still thought it was was cyst like pain or even ovulation pain bothering me,so I went to gynecologist, they thought it could be large intestine related due to the location of the pains. I got an ultrasound that came back normal in February of 2023. The same day i had the ultrasound, I went to medexpress to get my physical for my driver's permit, and they suggested asking my previous pcp for a ct scan, to check my appendix. It was hard to get into my previous pcp as I didn't see them in 3 years so I wasn't established. I reached out to the gynecologist I saw in january of 2023, in June 2023 when I had another occurrence of the pain, to see about getting a ct scan. It was approved by insurance, but ultimately denied under physician review( by the supervising gynecologist, and my previous pcp, because my ultrasound was normal). I then established care in December of 2023, with a new pcpx who is suspicious that my pains are coming from ibs mixed with spasms. I am taking dicyclomine 10 mg 4 times a day as needed, but it's not really doing anything when the pains occur. My pcp also changed my dicyclomine to a 45 day supply as I asked in a different question. I also met with a surgeon in March of 2024 due to a large gallstone, as my pcp said they were common in people my age. The surgeon gave a complete different answer than what I have been given before, and he thought my pains could be coming from endometriosis. The surgeon performed my cholecystectomy, on May 29th, and did a general exploration during it, but found no endometriosis. My pcp still suggested getting an evaluation for endometriosis just to know we didn't miss anything, as well as getting evaluated by a gastroenterologist. As my pains have still been continuing. What could these pains be coming from? I feel like I will be tossed back and forth between gynecology and gastroenterology, and I don't want that at all. Some helpful info: My new pcp also diagnosed me with pcos as I fit the criteria for it with my irregular period cycles, despite my bloodwork and ultrasound coming back normal. I also had the cbc; comprehensive metabolic panel; celiac; thyroid; A1C; ESR; and C-Reactive protein all tested in December of 2023 when I met with my new pcp. The only two that came back as abnormal were my ESR at 34 and C-Reactive protein at 29.7

Female | 35

You have been through a lot with your abdominal pains. Therefore, considering the normal ultrasound results and the new suspicion of endometriosis from the surgeon, your pain may be due to endometriosis, the condition wherein tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus that can result in cyclical sharp pelvic pain. It's okay to talk to a gynecologist about more tests and treatments. Besides, you might want to see a gastroenterologist, too, so as to eliminate the probability of any intestinal problems causing the symptoms you are having.

Breaks in the upper lip of the vagina due to a past habit of masturbation are quite common. The good news is, if you do not have any symptoms, it may not be a serious problem. But, it may cause you to feel pain during sex. To help, first of all, keep the region clean and then apply a water-based lubricant during intercourse.

I'm a girl aged 18 and having pain on my lower stomach like period cramps but it happens everytym when I'm not on periods and if I had my period it will finish in 8 days but the flow will be drops only from day 7.It started in February when I came from my country to Uk

Female | 18

You seem to be dealing with a situation that is clinically known as pelvic pain. This pain in the lower part of the stomach might be because of a lot of reasons such as ovarian cysts or endometriosis. These may cause the uterus to be painful even when one is not in the menstruation window. Occasional delay and duration of your period may also serve as a clue that something is not right with your hormones. You can visit a gynecologist for consultation and treatment.

Increased frequency of urination during your period is common due to hormonal changes. However, if you have significant changes or other symptoms like burning or discomfort, it's best to consult a gynecologist or a urologist to check and treat issues like UTI, if it is.

महिला | 29

Chemical pregnancies are one of the pregnancy types that are usually caused by poor hormonal balance in a woman's body. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, is a disorder of the female reproductive system that causes childbirth difficulties. The signs of the problem are widespread among patients in the form of irregular menses, weight gain, and action. PCOD must be treated by making life changes like a balanced diet and physical activities. Consult a gynecologist for professional and personalized advice.

Female | 22

Missing a period after taking contraceptive pills happens frequently. Normally, it's no big deal. The pills sometimes change menstrual cycles. If you have no pain or signs of pregnancy, wait a bit longer. Your period will likely arrive within days. Still, if you're worried or have weird symptoms, talk to a gynecologist.

Hello doctor I was expecting pregnancy and yesterday I have to get my period. I have noticed little bleeding yesterday with very mild period cramps. Immediately I have taken diclomal tablet get releived from those cramps. However I havemt noticed any kind of bleeding in my pad but noticed brown colour discharge today morning. My concern is am I pregnant or is it implantation bleeding and if it is so as I have taken the tablet will that effect the pregnancy

Female | 34

It’ is difficult to tell if it's just implantation bleeding unless there is a medical assessment done. You should visit a gynecologist and let them take the pregnancy test and afterward give you the advice you need. The intake of Diclomal tablet can leave the pregnancy at the risk and therefore it is vital to inform the doctor the same. It would be best that you see a gynecologist so you can get a complete check-up with their recommendations.

Female | 19

The 17th starting and the 20th ending period is a pretty normal cycle. Having unprotected sex on the 22nd might expose you to the risk of getting pregnant. So, watch for possible symptoms like nausea, fatigue, and breast tenderness. If you're concerned, think about using emergency contraception or taking a pregnancy test.

I’m 28 years of age, I have and abortion last month the 1st and end on the 10th of last month November, after three weeks last month November, I did a pregnancy test it’s negative, this month November 7 my period want to come out but it’s stop the same day and up till now I haven’t see my period today is the 17 I don’t know what is really the problem.

Female | 28

In some cases, a person may find that their cycle does not return to the regular pattern they had before the abortion, which happened one period later. The stress of the procedure can affect your cycle. On the other hand, various hormonal altercations that occur after the abortion can cause you to experience irregular periods. Try not to worry too much. If no periods occur after more than a few weeks, you should check with a gynecologist for a suitable solution.

I m 21year old female I have the problem in vegaina bleeding and burning sensation in toilet for the last evening please you suggest me what is the problem please

Female | 21

There are a number of things that can cause bleeding or a burning feeling in your vagina. Yeast infections are one such cause and they often lead to these symptoms. Another cause is wearing tight clothing or using products with scents around the area which may also irritate it. Therefore, it is best if you avoid such items and put on loose cotton panties instead. Additionally, try using over the counter yeast infection creams for relief from itching & burning sensations. However if no improvement is seen after doing so then it would be wise to go see a gynecologist who will further examine you.
