Experts say that women should not eat ice during menstruation. In order to make menstrual blood clean, it is necessary to keep the blood "warm" in order to flow smoothly. Once eating cold food, blood will be stimulated by temperature changes, leading to poor circulation, easy to produce blood clots, causing menstrual pain. Dr. Liu pointed out that in fact, not only eating ice, but also some cold foods, such as ice, wax gourd, eggplant, loofah, cucumber, wax gourd, crab, snail, kelp, bamboo shoots, oranges, pears, grapefruit, watermelon and so on. And sour food, such as sour plum, immature sour fruit, or some spicy and spicy food, such as fried things, peppers, watermelons, etc. Eat more green onions, fungus, peanuts, walnuts, dates, longan, roses and so on during menstruation. Dr. Liu said that if you accidentally eat cold food or can't help eating ice during menstruation, you can drink more brown sugar and cook ginger to balance blood circulation and promote blood flow. In addition to ice products should not be eaten during menstruation, women should pay special attention to keep warm during menstruation, avoid catching cold, wading, getting wet in the rain, exposure to the sun, taking a cold bath, and prohibit sexual intercourse, bathing and swimming, and keep vulva, underwear and sanitary napkins clean. Chinese medicine opposes women eating ice during menstruation, while western medicine believes that everything can be forgiven. Zhou Longsheng, an attending physician in obstetrics and gynecology at Yadong Memorial Hospital, pointed out that menstrual blood is the detachment of endometrium and is discharged by uterine contraction. When eating ice, the temperature of the stomach drops, which affects the uterine contraction and makes it difficult to discharge menstrual blood, thus forming a blood clot. In order to discharge blood clots, the uterus has to increase its contraction, which is also the reason why eating ice may cause menstrual pain. However, Dr. Zhou said that western medicine does not exclude any food, and even the confinement can eat ice. Although eating ice may cause uterine contraction and dysmenorrhea, these blood clots can be discharged through internal mechanisms of the body, so women don't have to worry too much. However, if you have excessive menstrual pain due to eating methamphetamine, you should go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to check whether there are other diseases.
