This color change \u201cusually results from the slow release of old blood that has oxidized, giving it a brownish hue,\u201d says Dr. Green.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most cases of brown blood occur as your period flow slows down, but blood can be brown for other reasons, too. Here, we\u2019ll go into detail about the various reasons period blood can be brown, when brown period blood may be a concern, what the other possible colors of period blood mean, and how to maintain a healthy menstrual cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-causes-brown-period-blood\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What causes brown period blood?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While most cases of brown period blood are simply from your period blood flowing slower and becoming oxidized, certain medical conditions or medications may also cause brown period blood. Let\u2019s take a closer look at the various causes of brown period blood and what type of symptoms require a visit to your healthcare provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"starting-or-ending-your-period\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting or ending your period<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever wondered, \u201cWhy is my period blood brown on the first day?\u201d The most common cause of brown period blood is because bleeding is slower at the start of the period, allowing more time for oxidation in the vaginal canal. \u201cWith the addition of oxygen, this blood will change from a bright red to brown or black,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/drarumala.com\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ruth O.

In addition to causing painful periods, endometriosis can cause abnormal bleeding. \u201cThis bleeding may look like thick blood, but it can also lead to brownish bleeding or dark blood during your period,\u201d says Shandra Scruggs, RN, registered labor and delivery nurse and doula, and the founder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/simplybirthed.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply Birthed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you have symptoms of endometriosis, such as intense cramps or heavy flow, you should visit your healthcare provider for treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"endometrial-polyps\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Endometrial polyps<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA lesser-known cause of brown bleeding during your period is endometrial polyps,\u201d says Dr. Green. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6501471\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Endometrial polyps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are small benign growths in your uterine lining that can cause irregular bleeding. \u201cThe brown color occurs when blood pools in the polyps before being discharged,\u201d Dr. Green explains. \u201cOther symptoms might include heavy or irregular bleeding, pelvic pain, or spotting between periods.\u201d Visit your healthcare provider if you experience any of these symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"uterine-fibroids\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine fibroids<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine fibroids are another kind of benign (non-cancerous growth) in the uterus that can lead to abnormal bleeding. Uterine fibroids can affect your periods, \u201cleading to brownish blood, especially if they block the flow,\u201d Scruggs says. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umwomenshealth.org\/conditions-treatments\/uterine-fibroids-abnormal-bleeding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uterine fibroids are common<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and don\u2019t always require treatment. But if you are noticing unusual symptoms, such as abdominal pain, low back pain, discomfort while urinating, or heavy or unusual period flow, you should consult your healthcare provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"implantation-bleeding\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implantation bleeding<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve conceived during your cycle, you may experience some brown bleeding or spotting around the time you are expecting your period. This may be due to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK470230\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">implantation bleeding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is an early sign of pregnancy that occurs when the fertilized egg implants in the uterus. \u201cThis blood is minimal, so it may take a long time to exit the body, resulting in an ability of the blood to be oxidized, thus resulting in the brown color,\u201d Dr. Arumala explains. It\u2019s typically normal to experience <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aafp.org\/pubs\/afp\/issues\/2019\/0201\/p166-s1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">light bleeding and mild cramping during early pregnancy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Still, if your bleeding becomes heavy or is accompanied by intense cramping or dizziness, you should consult your healthcare provider immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"postpartum-bleeding\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Postpartum bleeding<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s normal to experience menstrual-like bleeding for about three weeks after giving birth, whether vaginally or by C-section. This postpartum bleeding is called \u201clochia.\u201d Toward the end of the postpartum bleeding period, it\u2019s common to see some brown blood. \u201cThe flow tends to slow down as you near the end of postpartum recovery, thus allowing for oxidization,\u201d Dr. Arumala says. Although lochia is normal, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/articles\/9682-pregnancy-physical-changes-after-delivery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reasons to contact your healthcare provider postpartum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bleeding that has a foul smell, becomes heavy, or is accompanied by large clots or intense cramps<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signs of infection, such as a fever, weakness, or dizziness<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"hormonal-fluctuations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hormonal fluctuations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes in your hormonal makeup can change your period flow and cause brown period blood, according to Scruggs. For example, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a common hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods. High stress levels can also affect hormone levels, potentially changing period bleeding and causing brown discharge, according to Scruggs, who adds that thyroid imbalances may also impact periods, leading to brownish discharge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"hormonal-birth-control\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hormonal Birth Control<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">birth control pills<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and other forms of hormonal birth control\u2014such as hormonal IUDs, birth control shots, and patches\u2014<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/007496.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can lead to changes in bleeding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including brown period blood. This is typically a symptom of your body adjusting to the medication, but you should contact your healthcare provider if this irregular bleeding lasts more than three menstrual cycles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pelvic-inflammatory-disease-pid\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infections in your reproductive system can cause your period blood to change color. According to Scruggs, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can cause brown period blood or brown discharge. PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/std\/pid\/stdfact-pid.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">often caused by sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like chlamydia and gonorrhea<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. PID can be treated effectively, especially when caught early. See your healthcare provider if you have symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, discharge with odor, unusual bleeding, burning while urinating, fever, and spotting or bleeding between periods.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tracking-color-changes-during-a-period\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking color changes during a period<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you notice any usual bleeding patterns or menstrual blood colors, it can be helpful to track your menstrual cycle. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealth.gov\/menstrual-cycle\/your-menstrual-cycle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typical menstrual cycles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> last anywhere from 24\u201338 days, with usually no more than eight days of bleeding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping track of your cycle by using a calendar or an app on your phone can help you understand whether your periods are regular or irregular. Writing down the type of flow (e.g., heavy, light, or spotting) and the color of your blood each day is also helpful. If you notice anything unusual, you can share your tracking notes with your healthcare provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s common for period blood to change colors, even from one cycle to another. \u201cPeriod blood can vary in color, and these variations are often due to different factors,\u201d says Scruggs, who shares a breakdown of some of the colors you might encounter and what they mean:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bright red: This is what you\u2019ll usually see at the beginning of your period. It indicates a steady flow of new blood.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pink: Light pink blood typically occurs at the start or end of your cycle and is usually a mix of blood and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cervical mucus<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brown: This is old blood that has taken longer to leave the uterus. It\u2019s typical at the beginning or end of your cycle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black: This can also indicate blood that has taken longer to exit the uterus, but it can also be a result of medications or supplements. Persistent black blood should prompt a call to your healthcare provider.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green or gray: These colors may be a sign of infection. If also accompanied by an unpleasant odor, pain, or fever, seek medical attention immediately.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orange: Period blood that\u2019s orange can occur from a mix of red blood and cervical fluid.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clotty or tissue-like: Small clots are usually normal, especially during times of heavy flow. Consult your healthcare provider if you are experiencing large, frequent clots along with heavy bleeding.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"steps-to-maintain-a-healthy-menstrual-cycle\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steps to maintain a healthy menstrual cycle<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It typically isn\u2019t necessary to do anything in particular to maintain a healthy menstrual cycle. Additionally, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealth.gov\/menstrual-cycle\/your-menstrual-cycle-and-your-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lifestyle changes don\u2019t always solve issues like heavy bleeding or painful periods<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which are usually caused by underlying medical conditions. That said, taking care of your overall health and getting regular medical check-ups can keep you healthy overall and help keep your cycles in check.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Arumala shares the following tips for maintaining a healthy menstrual cycle:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eat whole foods, lean meats, and plenty of fruits and vegetables.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">properly hydrated<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Track your periods and record any irregularities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get adequate rest during your periods.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manage your stress.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise regularly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Address any underlying medical issues affecting your period with your healthcare provider.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"summary-recognizing-abnormal-period-colors\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summary: Recognizing abnormal period colors<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brown period blood is usually not a problem. However, it\u2019s important to recognize when brown period blood isn\u2019t normal. \u201cIf you notice persistent changes in your menstrual cycle, such as consistently brown or unusual bleeding, severe pain, or other concerning symptoms, you should seek medical guidance from your healthcare provider,\u201d Dr. Green advises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bottom line is that although brown period blood can be alarming at times, it\u2019s almost never something to stress over. \u201cIn most cases, brown period blood is a normal part of menstruation,\u201d Dr. Green
