What foods should women with dysmenorrhea stay away from?

Many female friends are troubled by dysmenorrhea. As a common symptom, many female friends do not know how to take care of dysmenorrhea, so that dysmenorrhea cannot be relieved, and even dysmenorrhea is aggravated . This is due to insufficient understanding of the causes of dysmenorrhea. I hope that through the analysis of dysmenorrhea, female friends can understand which foods they should stay away from in life to prevent dysmenorrhea from aggravating.

If women are addicted to cold and raw foods during normal times or during menstruation, the blood will be cold and coagulated, resulting in obstructed blood flow, which will cause pain and dysmenorrhea. Eating more of these foods can easily damage the spleen yang, causing the cold and dampness to fail to transform, injuring the lower part of the body, and staying in the uterus, causing blood to be cold and coagulated, resulting in dysmenorrhea. Therefore, people with qi and yang deficiency, or women during or before and after menstruation, should avoid eating raw and cold foods. Such foods include: all kinds of cold drinks, various frozen drinks, iced wine, raw mixed cold dishes, crabs, snails, mussel meat, leeches, pears, persimmons, watermelons, cucumbers, water chestnuts, grapefruits, oranges, etc.

Some patients with dysmenorrhea suffer from damp heat accumulation in the uterus. If such patients eat spicy and hot foods, it will aggravate pelvic congestion and inflammation, or cause excessive contraction of uterine muscles, which will aggravate dysmenorrhea. Spicy and hot foods include chili peppers, pepper, garlic, onions, ginger, leeks, tobacco, strong alcohol and spicy condiments. Patients with dysmenorrhea should try to eat less or no spicy and hot foods.

Acidic foods are sour and cold, and have astringent effects, which can cause blood vessels to contract and blood to stagnate, which is not conducive to the smooth flow and discharge of menstrual blood. Therefore, people with dysmenorrhea should avoid eating such foods. Acidic foods include rice vinegar, hot and sour vegetables, kimchi, pomegranates, green plums, bayberries, strawberries, carambolas, cherries, sour dates, mangoes, apricots, plums, lemons, etc.

I believe that readers already know what foods may aggravate dysmenorrhea. As long as female friends understand the root causes of dysmenorrhea, they can effectively prevent dysmenorrhea in daily life and no longer be troubled by it.
