What to eat when you have a menstrual period

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 also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What should I eat when my period comes?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you can replenish blood during your menstrual period, especially after it ends. Anemia is caused by iron loss in the body due to the significant amount of blood expelled during menstruation, leading to iron deficiency. Common symptoms of anemia during menstruation include a sallow or pale complexion and dizziness. It's important to replenish the raw materials needed for hematopoiesis in a timely manner. In the early days of your period, you can eat more sesame oil pig liver to help expel waste blood. Red bean soup, longan soup, and eight-treasure congee are also good options. Wishing you good health!
