Experiencing old black period blood - what should I do?

I'm experiencing old blood (black in colour)during my period from the first day to the fourth day(today)and the flow is same.Also it's the first time this has happened. I'm not bleeding fresh blood, which is concerning. What should I do?Typically, I bleed old blood only on the first day of my period, and by the night of the first day, I start to bleed fresh blood. However, this time, that's not the case, and it's now my fourth day, with only a small amount of old blood compared to my previous menstrual cycles

Old blood appears darke­r in color. It's normal, but concerning if it's new or freque­nt. Stress, hormones might cause this. Note­ it down. If it persists, consult a doctor. Being worried is unde­rstandable. Lingering old blood during periods isn't unusual. Howe­ver, monitor such occurrences. Take­ advice from healthcare provide­rs if the issue doesn't re­solve itself. Sudden change­s demand professional opinion. Stay calm, but vigilant.

Can we take simrose1000 tablet during periods

Female | 39

This tablet is the one that includes a substance that minimizes pain and discomfort. Period pain is the result of the contraction of the muscles of the uterus. Muscle relaxants are used to successfully relieve the pain of the uterus. It should also be remembered that the recommended dosage is strictly to be followed even though you buy it as an over-the-counter medicine. The ingestion of food should be done prior to taking the tablet, as long as there is nothing else you can avoid this way that could cause stomach upset.
