Does menstruation during lactation reduce milk production?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness.
Does menstruation during breastfeeding reduce milk production?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it should not be a problem. Insufficient milk supply can be addressed by drinking more pig trotter soup or red bean soup. A simpler method is to boil the top layer of thick, frothy liquid when cooking rice or porridge, and drink it frequently to increase milk production.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to further complications. It is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
