Bleeding black blood
For the past two months, a week before I started my period, I started bleeding a light brown color. When my period did start, I was bleeding black blood. I've also been having real bad abdomal pain upper and lower even when I'm not having my period. I've been taking Ortho Novum for a year and my period has never been like this. Could you please tell me the reason or what I have done that would cause this to happen?
I get black periods when iam on the pill, the generic pill sprintic the brand name is ortho tri cycle
I suffer from "ovarian cysts" and your sypmtoms sound like mine. Ask your doctor about that.
My period is like this sometimes as well. i find that i had pain in my abdominal that was unbearable and caused me to throw up and have diarrhea sometimes on the days i didnt have my period.. i had clots and brownish black blood and i got an ultra sound done and it turns out the pain was from rupturing ovarian cysts and that i had 4 ovarian cysts - 2 ruptured- and i still have 2 cysts left and they have not yet ruptured. the two cysts left are on both ovaries not just one- and are painful when they rupture. there is nothing to do about the pain- for these cysts however so i figured it may be this as well.... maybe get an ultra sound done and good luck!!
I have a different problem. I get a bloody nose about 2 times a week and the blood is black blood. The bloody nose starts in the night usually around 3-4 am, then I feel week the next day. I have also noticed that I have a deep pain in my left arm and the veins and arteries on my left arm look very dark (?black?) they really show up if you compare the left arm to the right arm.
ladies black blood may be due a chocolate cyst. It could be numerous diseases/ conditions related to the reproductive organs. Definitely see your doctor. Symptoms of diseases such as POCS or endometriosis can be managed and the pain may be explained. If you suffer severe cramps, clothing and dark spots you should see a doctor. I did and was diagnosed before the disease did major damage to my intestines and fertility.
