Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What foods should I avoid during my period?Doctor's answer:
During menstruation, one should not eat watermelon. Watermelon contains a large amount of water, various amino acids, and sugars, and has the effects of clearing heat, cooling the body, and quenching thirst. However, watermelon is cold in nature and slippery, also known as "cold melon." Even for normal individuals, it is not advisable to consume it in excess, and women during their period should be even more cautious. Hello, in this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up and treat based on hormone levels and TCM diagnostic methods.
