You can drink yogurt during menstruation, but it is best to warm it before drinking it. You can put the whole bottle into a container filled with hot water and simmer it, or pour it into a cup filled with superheated boiling water, but do not heat it directly in the microwave as this will kill the beneficial bacteria in the yogurt.

If you are sensitive to cold, you can soak the yogurt bottle or cup in warm water of 50 or 60 degrees Celsius for a while. This will not cause any loss of nutrients and is not harmful. Be careful not to scald the yogurt in boiling water or heat it in a microwave.

Some women don’t know whether they can drink yogurt during pregnancy and are afraid of affecting their menstruation. These concerns are unnecessary. You can drink yogurt normally, but it should not be too cold or too hot, because If it is too cold or too hot, some of the nutrients in the yogurt will be killed, and the nutrients in the yogurt will not be absorbed.

Extended information

Things to note during menstruation:

1. No strenuous sports

Such as high jump, long jump, running, playing football, etc. Vigorous physical activity can induce or aggravate general discomfort during menstruation, and even cause dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders. Some strength exercises that increase abdominal pressure, such as weight lifting, dumbbells, etc., should also be avoided as much as possible, otherwise it will cause menorrhagia or prolonged menstruation.

2. Don’t blindly take medicinal supplements

Many women will take important supplements during menstruation, but in fact, menstruation is a taboo period for medicinal supplements. Generally, medicated diets that are taken tonic include rice wine to help promote blood flow, or Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and remove blood clots, which will cause an increase in menstrual blood volume. Kampo medicinal materials can cause increased menstrual blood volume.

3. No surgery

All forms of surgery are not suitable during menstruation, because during menstruation, the endometrium releases more tissue-activating substances, which remove fibers from the blood. Protein-lytic zymogen is activated into fibrinolytic enzyme with anticoagulant effect. At the same time, the number of platelets in the body is also reduced, so the body's coagulation ability is reduced and the hemostasis time is prolonged.

4. Do not wear tight underwear

If women often wear tight underwear, especially during menstruation, it will easily cause menstrual blood to flow out smoothly, and it will also cause pelvic and abdominal pain when taking it off. Sudden changes in pressure can easily cause reflux of menstrual blood, eventually leading to menstrual back pain, abdominal pain, and even infertility.
