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. May I ask if drinking brown sugar water can help with heavy menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
AnswerExcessive menstrual flow should not be treated with brown sugar water. Drinking brown sugar water can worsen the condition, so it should be avoided. Healthy dietary choices during menstruation: (1) Foods: carrots, red amaranth, spinach, jujubes, longan meat, pig liver, pig heart, sheep liver, beef liver, chicken liver (animal livers), and egg-based foods. Hello, if you have menstrual pain, drinking white sugar water will exacerbate the symptoms. If you still want to drink something, you can have some brown sugar water. Menstrual pain can be either pathological or physiological. Pathological causes mainly include inflammation, organ developmental abnormalities, etc. In such cases, an ultrasound examination can be performed. If the examination shows no issues, it is likely physiological, usually caused by uterine cold. In this case, it is important to prevent cold and keep warm, avoid cold foods, cold drinks, and prolonged exposure to electric fans. Air conditioners should also be used as little as possible.
