Patient's question:
Recently, my menstrual cycle has been somewhat irregular, with periods sometimes being longer or shorter than usual. The color of my vaginal discharge is slightly yellow, and there is a faint odor. Sometimes I also feel discomfort when urinating. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. A few days ago, I went on a trip and had crabs, but I didn't eat them, fearing they might worsen my condition.What assistance would you like: Can people with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease eat crabs?
Doctor's answer:
Cannot be eaten. It can be consumed by the general population. It is suitable for people with injuries such as bruises, broken bones, blood stasis and swelling, postpartum placenta retention, pregnant women with weak contractions during labor, and those whose fetus is not delivered, especially with crab claws being the best choice. People with chronic stomach and spleen deficiency, loose stools, mild abdominal pain, unresolved wind-cold colds, chronic wind-related conditions, and stubborn skin itching should avoid it. Women with excessive menstrual bleeding, menstrual pain, and those who are pregnant should avoid crabs, especially crab claws. Chronic pelvic pain: Scarring and adhesions caused by chronic inflammation, as well as pelvic congestion, often lead to lower abdominal heaviness, pain, and lower back and sacral pain.
