Can you eat yam during menstruation?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

During menstruation, it is okay to eat yam. During the menstrual period, due to pelvic congestion, the uterine blood flows downward, the blood chamber is open, and resistance is weakened. It is also easy to experience emotional fluctuations. If proper care is not taken, it can lead to gynecological diseases, so menstrual hygiene should be given importance.
