My menstruation blood is a different color?

The blood is dark brown/black and it is only coming out in spots. It's not the end of my period it's just the beginning so I'm kind of worried. Does anyone know what this could be?

Among the many organisms that live in the human body is the yeast Candida albicans, Thrush, which lives in 80 percent of the human population at anyone time. Candida can found on the skin, in the stomach, colon, vagina, rectum, mouth, and throat. Under normal circumstances Candida has no harmful effects but can cause problems when an overgrowth appears in one of the areas mentioned, an overgrowth of this yeast is called Thrush and the medical name for Thrush is candidiasis.

Thrush can become a serious problem if it is not treated, and anyone who thinks they may be suffering from Thrush should seek medical advice at the earliest opportunity.

The telltale signs and symptoms of Thrush?

In the mouth it looks like creamy white patches or small red spots on the tongue, the roof of the mouth (also known as the hard palate), gums or throat. Crusting on the corners of the mouth is also a common symptom of Thrush. Thrush makes it difficult and painful to swallow and can cause chest pain as well as nausea and making food taste different.

A medical practitioner is normally able to to check oral Thrush by checking your mouth and throat though in more serious cases they may examine your throat and stomach with an endoscope using X-rays or visual examination.

Many women suffer from Thrush, in fact it’s been estimated that over 75% of all women will experience candidiasis, a candida yeast infection more commonly known as Thrush, at some point in their lives. The telltale signs of a yeast infection include a thick, cottage-cheese-like discharge along with itching and burning. Some women also notice swelling of the lips which can also be red and tender.

Can female Thrush be prevented?

Normal amounts of yeast are needed for good health so primary prevention of vaginal yeast is not possible. Because the infection is a yeast and feeds on sugar some women have found it helps to prevent a recurrence of yeast overgrowth by limiting the sugar in their diet. Another easy method to use is to allow the area to breathe by wearing cotton panties and skirts or loose-fitting pants.

If infections constantly reoccur a medical examination is recommended to confirm diagnosis, but in any case ensure you seek medical advice before undertaking any form of treatment.

The Dangerous Practice Of Using Synthetic Hormones

For over fifty years, doctors and their patients have been aware of the seeming benefits of the hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, however, the oversight of major pharmaceutical companies has misled and harmed millions of women in the process. Initially, as well as today, hormone replacement in women could be achieved using natural, or bio identical hormones, or through the use of hormones of synthetic. Major pharmaceutical companies, at the time, were aware of the benefits and detriments of both types of hormone replacement therapies; however, they chose to pursue the decidedly more dangerous option of hormones. Why? For profit, well, actually for patent rights to monopolize production rights and in turn, the ensuing profits, because patents cannot be held for naturally occurring substances, which is what bio identical hormones are in essence. Another major reason the promulgation of synthetic hormones occurred, in spite of known lethal side effects, is the fact that most doctors derive any new information in the medical community from the inventing or marketing efforts of the pharmaceutical companies themselves, who naturally touted only the wide benefits of hormones of synthetic in slowing, if not stopping the aging process in women.

Unfortunately, hormones of synthetic, although typically temporarily alleviating symptoms like inability to sleep and hot flashes, did not address more serious issues at hand from aging, and in fact, caused even more harm to womens health in the long run as well. Some of the lesser sinister side effects that hormones of synthetic failed to address in aging women include:
Brittle bones

Depression

Loss of libido

Hypertension, or high blood pressure

Weight gain

Bloated sensations

Memory loss

Even more disturbing about synthetic hormones, and SHRT, is the direct correlation of these drugs to skyrocketing rates of breast and ovarian cancer in the United States. The statistics speak for themselves: In 2002, one of the largest purveyors of synthetic hormones, Wyeth-Ayerst, gained one billion dollars in
1000
revenue from an estimated seventy million prescription of hormones of synthetic sold annually. Likewise, in 2002, the rates of women suffering from breast cancer were one in eight, from a rate of one in ninety-one a little less than one hundred years ago. Not only are breast and ovarian cancers epidemics among aging women, but weight, not uncomfortable weight gain, but rather, life and health endangering obesity is plaguing women across America as well since the introduction of hormones of synthetic.
