Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 36 years old this year, and my menstrual cycle has always been very regular. I would never have menstrual cramps. However, for the past two months, my period has been extremely irregular, and I am also experiencing some menstrual cramps. I really love drinking tea. Does drinking tea cause irregular periods? Hello, can you drink tea with irregular periods?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it is recommended for patients with menstrual irregularities to consume less tea or avoid it altogether. If the menstrual irregularity is caused by insufficient qi and blood, drinking tea can inhibit the absorption of iron from food, which may alleviate the symptoms of qi and blood deficiency. If you really want to drink tea, avoid doing so immediately after meals. You can drink tea two hours after eating. Plain water is a better beverage and you can drink more of it to enhance metabolic processes.
