Does eating spicy food during breastfeeding cause milk to decrease?

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. I'm asking if eating spicy food during breastfeeding can reduce milk supply.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation is related to physical constitution and endocrine disorders. You can adopt dietary methods, such as eating more fish maw and pork trotters, which are beneficial for milk production. Pay attention to rest and nutrition. During the menstrual period, avoid cold foods. Some foods with a cooling property, such as ice cream, winter melon, eggplant, loofah, cucumber, crab, snail, kelp, bamboo shoots, oranges, pears, pomelos, and watermelon, etc.
