Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
The dark menstrual bleeding that you describe could indicate possibilities like old blood, pregnancy, hormonal changes, infections, endometritis, ovarian cysts, use of any medications, cervical problems, etc. Few symptoms can also be attributed to hormonal imbalance. The exact cause can only be made out after careful evaluation. Consider visiting your doctor/gynecologist at the earliest for thorough examination and further evaluation to look for the underlying cause for the abnormal bleeding and symptoms that you describe. Treatment as indicated (based on examination findings and investigations results) would be started to help you control the abnormal bleeding/symptoms and regulate your periods. Consider being in regular monitoring and follow-up with your treating doctor/gynecologist and report any new/abnormal symptoms immediately. Drink plenty of water. Take adequate rest. Maintain healthy diet and lifestyle. If infective cause is detected, and if you are sexually active, get your partner also treated simultaneously, and avoid having intercourse while being on treatment to prevent chances of re-infection.
Take care.
