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 use moxa during my menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, if you have menstrual cramps, you can use it. It is recommended to keep warm and rest well during your period, avoid sexual intercourse and swimming, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Postpartum diet should avoid spicy and cold foods. Soy milk is slightly cold. Therefore, you can drink soy milk while postpartum, but it should be consumed in moderation. There are many foods that promote milk production. Catfish soup is the best. Catfish is one of the freshwater fish with the highest DHA content, and it can also ensure milk quality.Small tip: Cesarean section itself can cause gas in postpartum women. Drinking soy milk will worsen the gas, and adding sugar to soy milk can lead to insufficient milk production. Therefore, cesarean-sectioned mothers should not drink soy milk before passing gas.
