What foods should be avoided during menstruation?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

During the menstrual period, some foods with a cooling property should not be eaten in excess, such as ice cream, winter melon, eggplant, loofah, cucumber, crab, snail, kelp, bamboo shoots, oranges, pears, pomelos, and watermelon. These should be avoided during the period to prevent poor blood circulation.
