What is best not to eat during menstruation?

Professional gynecologists say that when many women have menstrual disorders, they only consider gynecological diseases such as uterine hypoplasia, acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, and uterine fibroids, but ignore looking for causes outside the uterus. Many bad habits may also lead to menstrual disorders. If you don't pay attention to your diet, your menstrual period will be affected to varying degrees. Only by not eating what you shouldn't eat can you reduce pain. What are the taboos during menstruation?

Avoid eating during menstruation:

Do not eat raw and cold food, which is what Chinese medicine calls cold food, such as pears, bananas, water chestnuts, stone ear, stone flower, and ground ear. Most of these foods have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, nourishing yin and reducing fire. They are beneficial to the human body when eaten at ordinary times, but you should try not to eat or eat less of these foods during menstruation, otherwise it is easy to cause dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation and other symptoms. In addition, there are also taboos during menstruation, such as water chestnuts, wild rice stems, winter melon, kale, bracken, rabbit meat, black fungus, and hemp seeds. Some women's dysmenorrhea symptoms have exceeded the tolerable range. If the medicine does not work, you must see a doctor as soon as possible. It is very important to let the doctor know the severity of your dysmenorrhea. The doctor will diagnose and check for endometriosis for you depending on the situation.

The secretion of menstrual blood is no more than 50-120g, and alcohol will not have any effect on it. What else should be avoided during menstruation? In addition, many women want to drink wine or warm wine during menstruation. This is because the body temperature drops by 0.3-0.4 degrees during menstruation, and they subconsciously want to warm up the body. Therefore, during this period, drinking 1-2 glasses of wine is the appropriate amount, no more.

Fried food is also a big taboo for women during menstruation. Due to the influence of progesterone in the body, women's sebum secretion increases during menstruation, the skin is greasy, and the capillaries expand, making the skin sensitive. Eating fried food at this time will increase the burden on the skin, making it easy to get acne, acne, folliculitis, and dark circles. In addition, since the metabolism of fat and water slows down during menstruation, eating fried food at this time will easily cause fat to accumulate in the body.

Some patients with dysmenorrhea suffer from damp-heat accumulation in the uterus. If such patients eat spicy and warm foods, it will aggravate pelvic congestion and inflammation, or cause excessive contraction of uterine muscles, which will aggravate dysmenorrhea. Spicy and warm 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 foods. Acidic foods are sour and cold, and have astringent effects, which cause blood vessels to contract and blood to stagnate, which is not conducive to the smooth flow and discharge of menstrual blood. Therefore, patients 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.

Avoid eating during menstruation: If you are addicted to cold and raw foods, the blood will be cold and coagulated, which will block the blood flow, causing pain and dysmenorrhea; eating too much of these foods will easily damage the spleen yang, causing the cold and dampness to fail to transform, hurt the lower part of the body, stay in the uterus, and cause the blood to be cold and coagulate, causing dysmenorrhea. Therefore, people with qi and yang deficiency, or women during or before and after menstruation, should avoid eating raw and cold foods.

Experts remind: Keep warm during menstruation, avoid catching cold, do not get wet in the rain, wade or swim, do not sit in damp, shady places or near air conditioners or fans. Do not bathe or wash your feet with cold water to avoid causing menstrual disorders.
