Period Blood Colors

Period blood colors

Period blood can vary in color from cycle to cycle. Most changes are normal.

- Bright red often means fresh flow and is common at the start. - Dark red or brown is older blood and is common near the end. - Pink can appear when blood mixes with discharge. - Very dark or black usually indicates older, oxidized blood.

Seek advice if you notice: - grayish blood - strong odor with fever or pain - sudden persistent changes

Color alone is not a diagnosis, but it can help you track your cycle.
