My period is dark brown/black?
So I just got my period last night and it's dark brown/black. It's kind of string/globby (sorry if it's tmi 😁) I heard that it's just old blood but I'm still kinda worried if it could be a medical issue. I'm 14 if that has an effect on the issue at all. Should I go to the doctor or is this just normal? Can I still wear a tampon?

Well, I believe personally...its caused by candida. Do you eat a lot of cheese, bread, milk or white foods, starchy or sweet foods? Try a 1/4 tbs of baking soda with an 8 oz glass of water. The stringy and irregular color tells me that candida is most likely the problem, and yes its old blood...candida can make periods irregular.
