Can women eat chili during menstruation?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Women during their menstrual period often feel particularly tired, have weakened digestive function, and poor appetite. Therefore, it is important to focus on light and easily digestible foods in their diet, avoiding highly acidic and irritating foods such as hawthorn, pickled vegetables, vinegar, chili peppers, mustard, and pepper.
