Is there a relationship between menstrual volume and eating cold things?

Patient's question:

I am 28 years old, and I have been drinking cold drinks before my period. My period was delayed by 15 days. When it came, it only lasted for two days, and both days were brown in color. The amount was very small. What is going on? Is it related to drinking cold drinks?

Doctor's answer:

If your period hasn't arrived yet and you eat something cold, it should not affect your period. If your period is delayed by 15 days and you have had sexual activity, you should first rule out pregnancy. It is recommended to rule out pregnancy and have an ultrasound in the gynecology department of a regular hospital to check for any abnormalities in the endometrium and ovaries. Based on the results of the examination, symptomatic treatment should be provided, or further tests such as the six sex hormones should be improved. Maintain good daily habits, have a deep and regular sleep, avoid overtime, drink more hot water during the menstrual period, pay attention to preventing colds, and avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
