What Causes Black Vaginal Discharge And Abdominal Discomfort Before Menstruation?

I m experiencing thick, black vaginal bleeding today but my period is 10 days early. I had bad cramps 2 days prior, mild abdominal discomfort yesterday which felt more gastrointestinal and no pain today. I ve always had a predictable menstural cycle... 28 days like clock work. The only time it s been different was when I was on the birth control Seasonique. I got pregnant with my son the first ovulation after I had stopped taking it and my cycle has never skipped a beat after giving birth. In the last year, I ve been diagnosed with Lupus and Fibromyalgia. I am also finally recovering from a 3+ month productive cough and sinus fullness. During those 3 months, I was treated with 14 days of Biaxin, 21 days of Augmentin, Z-Pack, 4 courses of predisone, 2 antibiotic injections, 2 steroid injections, a breathing treatment, a rescue inhaler and Dulera. I still currently take the Dulera and am on the last 2 days of prednisone. My primary and ENT ruled out pneumonia, did not feel it was related to the Lupus and diagnosed with with chronic bronchitis. I also regularly take Adderall for ADHD and recently switched from Suboxone strips to generic Subutex for opioid dependence. In the last few weeks, I ve been suffering from awful heartburn and have been taking Zantac.

It is mostly suggestive of vaginal fungal infection for which you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or avil for itching. You can take Fole 150 mg or use clingen-forte vaginal pessary to put into the vagina once daily for at-least 5 days. Maintain the hygiene of private part.
