Patient's question:
I feel so much pain during my period that I roll around on the ground. When I was a child, I was very self-conscious and in pain. Now that I'm in school, I often get teased by others, and I don't know why. What should I eat when my period is irregular?Doctor's answer:
Principles of Nutrition for Irregular Menstruation: The diet should be light and nutritious. Pay attention to iron and vitamin C supplements. The important function of vitamin C is to enhance blood production and help treat iron-deficiency anemia. You can eat more high-protein foods such as beans and fish. One week before menstruation, the diet should be light, easy to digest, and nutritious. Increase leafy vegetables and water to maintain regular bowel movements. Eat high-fiber foods: Foods rich in fiber are beneficial for regulating the menstrual cycle. High-fiber foods mainly include fresh fruits, vegetables, and oats. These foods can moisturize the intestines, stabilize constipation, and also have certain benefits for menstrual regulation.
