Patient's question:
I am an 18-year-old boy, but I have an older sister who is two years older than me. I have a good relationship with my sister, and she tells me everything, even personal matters. My sister said recently that she hasn't been feeling well, and her menstrual period this month has been lighter in flow and color. I heard from others that soaking feet in chili pepper water can treat menstrual irregularities. Can soaking feet in chili pepper water really treat menstrual irregularities?Doctor's answer:
Numbing peppers foot bath has the effect of dispelling cold and promoting blood circulation. If you usually have a low menstrual flow and the color is relatively light, you can choose to use the method of numbing peppers foot bath to relieve it. However, numbing peppers foot bath cannot treat menstrual disorders because the abnormal symptoms of menstruation may also be related to endocrine disorders or gynecological diseases, etc. Therefore, to regulate menstruation, it is necessary to find the cause and carry out regulation and treatment.
