Hello,
Black vaginal discharge may look alarming, but it isn’t always a reason for concern.
When blood takes extra time to exit the uterus, it oxidizes. This can cause it to appear a shade of brown to dark brown or black in color.
It may even resemble coffee grounds. PID,STD,implantation bleeding,foreign body,infection and cancer are common reasons of black discharge. Visit your gynecologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
