Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What should I eat during my period?Doctor's answer:
First, it is best not to eat cold, sour, spicy, or other stimulating foods during menstruation. Drink plenty of warm water and maintain regular bowel movements. For individuals with blood heat, it is recommended to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables before menstruation and avoid foods that stimulate the body's fire, such as garlic, onions, chives, and ginger.Second, girls who have experienced their first menstrual period should avoid deliberate fasting or overeating. Instead, focus on consuming foods that promote red blood cell growth and enhance immunity, such as animal liver, bone broth, and lean meat. This helps replenish the body's red blood cell loss and strengthen its hematopoietic function.
Finally, pay attention to hygiene and prevent infections. Women should always maintain cleanliness in their external genital areas. Keep warm to avoid cold exposure and avoid overexertion.
