The discharge of black blood clots during menstruation is primarily caused by endometrial shedding and congestion within the uterine cavity. Since blood color can change when exposed to air, no special treatment is usually required. However, it is important to monitor for other discomfort symptoms and maintain local hygiene, as reproductive system infections may also affect blood color and lead to increased vaginal and cervical secretions. During menstruation, pay attention to whether the menstrual flow is normal and whether there are discomforts such as abdominal pain. Ensure adequate rest and follow a light, easily digestible diet.
