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 pregnant women drink fermented glutinous rice soup?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women can drink fermented glutinous rice soup, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. They should consume nutrient-rich and easily digestible foods such as eggs, milk, ribs, chicken, and fish. It is forbidden to wash hair, take a bath, wash hands, or do laundry and vegetables with cold water. It is advisable to drink a moderate amount of wine, as red wine can promote blood circulation, warm the Yang and nourish the blood, expand blood vessels, and relax smooth muscles, thereby alleviating menstrual pain.Citrus fruits, such as oranges, mustard greens, coriander, carrots, bitter melon, and ginger, have the effects of regulating qi and promoting blood circulation, making them good choices for vegetarian diets during menstruation.
