Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if drinking coffee during menstruation affects the body?Doctor's answer:
During the menstrual period, it's best not to drink coffee. Coffee can increase estrogen levels in the body, exacerbating some gynecological conditions such as endometriosis and breast swelling. More importantly, it can also affect fertility. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's health but can also lead to the development of these conditions. Therefore, it's advisable to visit a gynecologist for a check-up, identify the underlying cause, and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
