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. Can I drink tea during my period?Doctor's answer:
During the menstrual period, it is not advisable to drink tea because tea contains a high amount of tannic acid, which can combine with iron molecules in food to form a large amount of precipitates, hindering the absorption of iron molecules by the intestinal mucosa. During menstruation, women often suffer from anemia and need to supplement more iron-rich foods, such as black fungus and pork liver, to prevent iron deficiency anemia. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
