Patient's question:
Does drinking milk during menstruation cause menstrual cramps? Can I drink milk during my period? I drink one bottle in the morning and one in the evening, each 250 ml, cold, is it okay?Doctor's answer:
When women have their menstrual period, they must pay attention to their diet, otherwise it may cause discomfort in the body. During menstruation, women should pay special attention not to eat foods that are too cold, as this may lead to blood stagnation, poor flow of menstrual blood, increased uterine contractions, and thus menstrual cramps. Women should also note that they should not eat spicy and irritating foods during menstruation, as these foods may cause excessive menstrual bleeding, leading to stained underwear. It is best to eat more iron-rich foods during menstruation, as iron is an essential raw material for blood production. Consuming sufficient iron can ensure that the body's blood is replenished in a timely manner.
