What can't people with uterine cold eat?

If a woman has irregular menstruation or other abnormal conditions during her menstrual period, she should consider whether the abnormal condition is caused by uterine cold. As women in modern society pay less and less attention to their bodies, the incidence of women suffering from uterine cold is continuing to rise. In order to alleviate the phenomenon of uterine cold, women should not only rely on medication for treatment, but also pay attention to the foods that patients with uterine cold should never eat.

1. What can't people with uterine cold eat?

1.1. Avoid eating cold fruits

Cold in nature: strawberry, carambola, loquat, mulberry, cantaloupe, melon, watermelon, pear, tangerine, orange, tangerine, banana, kiwi, persimmon, grapefruit, mangosteen, water chestnut, water chestnut, monk fruit, tomato, radish, cucumber, etc.

1.2. Avoid eating spicy food

For some patients, dysmenorrhea is caused by accumulation of damp heat in the uterus. If such patients eat spicy or hot foods, it will aggravate pelvic congestion and inflammation, or cause excessive contraction of the uterine muscles, thereby aggravating dysmenorrhea.

Spicy and warm foods include chili peppers, pepper, garlic, onions, ginger, leeks, tobacco, strong liquor and spicy condiments. Patients with dysmenorrhea should try to eat less or no spicy foods.

1.3. Avoid eating raw, cold and cool foods

If women like to eat cold and raw foods during normal times or menstruation, their blood will be blocked by cold, which will cause pain and dysmenorrhea. Eating too much of such foods can easily damage the spleen yang, prevent the cold and dampness from being transformed, damage the lower part of the body, and stay in the uterus, causing blood to be blocked by cold and causing dysmenorrhea. Therefore, people with weak Qi and Yang, or women during or before and after menstruation, should avoid eating raw, cold or cool foods.

1.4. Avoid sour and astringent foods

Acidic foods are sour and cold in nature, and have astringent effects, causing blood vessels to contract and blood to stagnate, which is not conducive to the smooth flow and discharge of menstrual blood. Therefore, people with dysmenorrhea should avoid eating such foods.

Acidic foods include rice vinegar, spicy and sour vegetables, pickles, pomegranates, green plums, bayberries, strawberries, star fruits, cherries, sour dates, mangoes, apricots, plums, lemons, etc.
