What the color of your period tells you about your health

The color of your menstrual blood may tell you more about your health than you think. Here are the colors that should be a reason to see your doctor.

This is reported by the Dr. Evin website.

Dark red to brown

Dark shades of blood at the beginning and end of your period are normal. But if the blood remains dark and thick throughout the menstrual period, it may be a sign of high estrogen levels. This is normal before menopause, but younger women should seek medical advice.

Pink

Pinkish blood can be a sign of low estrogen levels. It can be caused by excessive dieting, lack of sleep or stress. Consult your doctor to adjust your lifestyle.

Orange

Blood turns orange with a possible gray undertone when mixed with cervical fluid. This may indicate an infection or a sexually transmitted disease. In such a case, it is better to consult a doctor to find out the exact cause.
