What happens if women eat cold food during menstruation?

Many people will warn you not to eat cold or icy food during menstruation. Once you eat cold food, it will easily cause blood stasis and blood clots, affecting the normal circulation of blood. Over time, it will lead to dysmenorrhea. Therefore, during menstruation, you should avoid contact with cold things and eat more warm food to ensure a smooth menstrual period.

Overview In summer, especially during menstruation, I often eat a lot of frozen food or ice cream. I didn't know what the consequences would be at that time. I just felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach. By chance, I asked a gynecologist whether women can eat cold food during menstruation. Later, she told me the following answer.

Steps/Methods: 1. Traditional Chinese medicine is against women eating ice during menstruation, while Western medicine believes that there are no taboos. Menstrual blood is the shedding of the endometrium, and it is discharged due to the contraction of the uterus. If you eat frozen food, the temperature of your stomach and intestines will drop, and the contraction of the uterus will become worse, making it difficult for menstrual blood to be discharged, so blood clots are formed. In order to discharge the blood clots, the uterus has to increase the intensity of its contraction, which is why eating ice may cause menstrual pain. 2 Western medicine does not exclude any food, even women can eat ice during confinement. Although eating ice during menstruation may cause menstrual pain due to uterine contraction, these blood clots can be discharged through the body's internal mechanism, so women do not need to worry too much about this. However, if you eat too much ice and experience excessive menstrual pain, you should go to the hospital and the obstetrics and gynecology department to check whether there is any other possible disease.

Note: In addition to eating less ice, eat less fruits with a cooler nature. Keep warm to avoid catching a cold. Keep your underwear clean and change your sanitary pads.
