Experts say that women can eat fruits properly during menstruation, and some fruits can prevent constipation and avoid pelvic congestion, which is helpful for women's menstrual health; However, some fruits will do harm to women's health, and eating them may cause dysmenorrhea, weakness and fatigue.
1, some cold fruits are not suitable for eating, which will cause qi and blood stagnation and cold pathogens invade the human body. Such as pears, bananas, persimmons, melons, mangoes, watermelons, kiwis, grapefruit, mulberries, pitaya, oranges and strawberries. Especially watermelons, bananas and persimmons, women must not eat during menstruation.
2. Ice the fruit. Even warm fruit is not suitable to be taken out of the refrigerator. If you eat ice products during the holiday, the temperature in your body will drop, which will stimulate the uterine contractility and make it difficult to discharge menstrual blood, so a blood clot will form. At this time, the uterus has to increase the intensity of contraction to discharge blood, thus forming uncomfortable symptoms such as dysmenorrhea.
3, sour fruit. Women should eat some light and digestible food during menstruation. Hot and sour food can cause digestive disorders or stimulate abnormal menstrual blood discharge. Such as sour plum, sand fruit, immature sour fruit and so on.
4, anti-season fruit. The nutritional value of off-season fruits is discounted, and some chemical pesticides may be used to ripen, which is harmful to human body. During the official holidays, women's immunity declines, and it is even more inappropriate to eat this kind of food. For example, watermelons, apples and oranges in spring, cantaloupes in summer, peaches in autumn and sugar cane in winter.
What medicine can't you take during menstruation? 1, diet pills.
Most diet pills contain ingredients that suppress appetite. If used during menstruation, it may lead to menstrual disorder, polyuria or dysuria, palpitation and anxiety, and even amenorrhea.
2, laxatives
Laxatives such as magnesium sulfate and sodium sulfate have obvious catharsis effect and can cause reflective pelvic congestion, so menstruation should be banned; Other gastrointestinal motility drugs should also be used with caution or have contraindications.
3. Sex hormone drugs
The synthesis and metabolic balance of sex hormones in women are closely related to menstrual cycle. Therefore, it is not appropriate to use sex hormones during menstruation to avoid menstrual disorders. For example, androgen can cause menstrual decrease, menopause, irregular cycle and so on. And progesterone (progesterone) can cause breast pain or irregular vaginal bleeding.
4. Anticoagulant
Anticoagulants can cause menorrhagia and even massive bleeding, and should be avoided during menstruation, such as coumarin, heparin and thrombolytic agents.
5. Hemostatic drugs
Hemostatic drugs, such as Anluoxue and vitamin K, can reduce capillary permeability and promote capillary contraction, which will cause menstrual bleeding after use. In addition, Chinese medicines or proprietary Chinese medicines with strong hemostatic effect should be used with caution.
6. Preparation of Thyroxine
Thyroxine preparations may cause menstrual disorder and should be banned during menstruation.
