The presence of black "stuff" in your private part can have several possible causes. Based on the provided reference, the most common reason for black discharge or blood is related to the natural processes of your menstrual cycle or after pregnancy. However, other causes, such as infection or miscarriage, are also possibilities.
Here's a breakdown:

Old Blood: Black blood is often just old blood. According to the provided reference, it can indicate that blood has taken extra time to exit the uterus. This is most common at the beginning or end of your period.

It is important to monitor any other symptoms you may be experiencing (fever, pain, foul odor) and consult with a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate care.
