What to eat during menstruation?

Eat more foods containing protein, iron and calcium during menstruation to supplement menstrual blood loss. This kind of food is mainly meat, including lean meat, beef, mutton and so on. Pay attention to keep warm and rest during menstruation, avoid overwork, pay attention to perineal hygiene, and avoid retrograde infection of pathogens. Do not eat carbonated drinks, chilled fruits, hemostatic drugs or anticoagulant drugs during menstruation.

1, carbonated drinks:

Many women who like to drink carbonated drinks will be tired and listless during menstruation, which is a sign of iron deficiency, because most carbonated drinks contain phosphate, which will react with iron in the body, making it difficult to absorb iron. In addition, sodium bicarbonate in carbonated drinks will neutralize gastric juice, reduce the digestion and sterilization of gastric acid, and affect appetite.

2, iced fruit:

Even warm fruit is not suitable to be taken out of the refrigerator. If you eat iced fruit during menstruation, it will stimulate the uterine contractility to become worse, and menstrual blood will be difficult to discharge, forming a blood clot. At this time, the uterus has to increase the intensity of contraction to discharge menstrual blood, thus forming uncomfortable symptoms such as dysmenorrhea.

3, hemostatic or anticoagulant drugs:

If you take hemostatic or anticoagulant drugs, it will lead to abnormal menstrual flow, such as Gongxuening capsule, Yunnan Baiyao capsule, aspirin enteric-coated tablets and other drugs, which should be avoided.
