Can I eat chocolate during my period?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I eat chocolate during my period?

Doctor's answer:

Chocolate can cause emotional instability. Chocolate can also lead to increased sugar cravings, in addition to weight gain, and may increase the body's demand for vitamin B. At the same time, sugar depletes the body's vitamin B and minerals, making people more likely to crave sugary foods. Consuming high-sugar sweets not only fails to alleviate menstrual discomfort but may also worsen it by disrupting blood sugar levels and affecting hormonal balance, leading to increased discomfort. I suggest you avoid eating it.
