Women Should Not Eat Randomly During Menstruation
Menstruation refers to the duration of a menstrual period. The calculation method of the menstrual cycle is as follows: counting from the first day of the previous menstrual period, the second menstrual period begins 28 days later. However, due to differences in physical constitution, age, climate, region, and living conditions, the menstrual cycle may vary. Within a range of 7 days before or after 28 days, it is considered normal. The menstrual period generally lasts for 2-7 days. If the duration is prolonged or too short, it is considered abnormal.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, eating cold and raw food during ovulation can lower the temperature of the endometrium, leading to menstrual disorders, irregular menstrual periods, and even a cold uterus, greatly increasing the risk of infertility. Western medicine believes that consuming cold and raw food can slow down blood circulation, affecting uterine contractions and the discharge of menstrual blood, leading to poor menstrual blood flow and causing menstrual pain. In addition, some cold-natured foods such as pears, bananas, water chestnuts, cloud ear fungus, stone flowers, and earth ear fungus should be avoided or eaten sparingly during menstruation, as they can easily cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and menstrual irregularities.
PS: Even in hot summer, it is not advisable to consume cold drinks during menstruation.
In fact, it is also not recommended for women to wash their hair, take a bath, or do laundry with cold water during menstruation. If you can't stand it, use hot water (and dry off promptly), or ask your boyfriend for help. Many diseases are caused by long-term bad habits, so it is recommended to take better care of oneself.
