When experiencing menstrual cramps, what kind of food should one generally eat?

Patient's question:

A 29-year-old woman knows she has discomfort in her body but hasn't gone to see a doctor. She asks: What should one generally eat when experiencing menstrual cramps?

Doctor's answer:

The patient experienced menstrual cramps again during their period, and in most cases, this is due to the patient's uterine cold. At this time, it is necessary to consume some uterine-warming foods to alleviate the symptoms of menstrual cramps. A common option is brown sugar water. Drinking brown sugar mixed with water can effectively provide a warming effect on the abdomen and relieve menstrual cramps.
Then, the patient needs to maintain a disciplined diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
