Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
Initially you were having a bright red blood for bleeding. Its change of colour to brown or even blackish indicates that you do have some blood deficiency like anaemia. To correct it, do take iron supplements for at least 2-3 months along with a high protein diet.
