Re: dark menstrual bloodFrom: Jennifer (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Aug 31 01:01:35 2006
This is a section of a website that might help give some explanation of the dark brown blood. I too have had it for years since I have gone on the continuous BCP treatments. My dr also told me the following: it isn't a big deal. Its gross, yes, but it isn't anything to be concerned about as it is just old blood. Sometimes there is an odor with it sometimes there isn't. Sometimes it is crumbly, sometimes it is runny or even thick. I'm going yeah, another wonderful reason to be happy I am a woman. yuck. This wouldn't make sense if I just copied the little section of the link I found so I am posting the whole paragraph. I am not a big new junkie on acupuncture or alternative medicine, but this is what I found on acufinder.com under the womans conditions and treating endo and fibroids with acupuncture. I have dealt with this for too long to sit back and throw in the towel anymore so that is why I have been researching other methods of treatment. I am going to contact my sisters father-in-law chiropractor who also does acupuncture tomorrow to see what he can suggest or help for me. Hope this paragraph helps. The second section really explains the most about the dark brown blood. good luck. Jen as seen on http://www.acufinder.com under the conditions section, under womens health issues, under endometriosis and fibroid treatments What do endometriosis and fibroids have in common? They both have their place in preventing conception, and both are responsive to estrogen fluctuations. There is no western cure for either, except hysterectomy. Eastern medicine, however, gives them a common denominator - they are both considered processes of inhibited, stagnated uterine blood which doesn't flow freely. The menstruate has become blocked, and the normal process has become obstructed. Women with either of these conditions often experience a sediment-like menstrual flow with dark, brown, clotted, blood which has been allowed to oxidize. The rest of the body responds and the immune system reacts to this silty, old blood. Our neuroendocrine awareness is heightened. Remember, our body's immunologic priority is to keep us safe from external or internal insults. It recognizes the toxic state and mounts chemicals to clean up this debris. It knows that a fetus won't survive in this environment. end of enclosures.
