Is the colour of your period normal? Why are there different colours during the course of your period?
Rest assured, the colour of your period can range (and may not always stay the classic red that we see in pop culture). In this video I tackle these questions and more! I discuss how your period may range in colour - from red, pink, brown, and even black! I discuss what each colour means and why it happens (as well as some myths around what the colour of your period may mean).
If you're experiencing a changé in symptoms during your period, missing a period, having a heavier flow than normal, bleeding in-between periods, bleeding after menopause or during pregnancy - it's important that you go to a doctor to discuss things as it could mean something more. You are so deserving of support and answers in your journey and your health matters!
Doctors are also a great resource to find information and education around periods in general (esp. if you want to learn more about the entire menstrual cycle).
A huge shoutout to Dr. Simi Adedji for her video on the topic and many more advocates raising awareness around periods and the different colours they can be.
