Can I drink coffee during my period?

You may feel tired during menstruation. Some people may think that drinking a cup of coffee can drive away fatigue and boost your spirits. Having said that, drinking coffee during menstruation is actually not good for women's health. This is mainly because women should not feel tired during menstruation and should rest more. Excessive drinking will affect sleep. In addition, the caffeine in coffee will dilate blood vessels, increase menstrual volume, and aggravate dysmenorrhea. It is recommended that women drink some rice wine and brown sugar during menstruation to promote the excretion of menstrual blood. At the same time, they should pay attention to keeping warm and strengthen nutrition during menstruation.

Women should drink coffee with caution during menstruation, or drink less even if they have to. Coffee contains caffeine, which is a stimulant that stimulates the nerves and cardiovascular system. It is also not conducive to the contraction of the uterus during menstruation. It is not uncommon in clinical practice that drinking coffee during menstruation leads to aggravated dysmenorrhea, heavy menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation, and breast pain.

Excessive coffee drinking before and during menstruation can cause breast tenderness, anxiety, irritability and mood swings, and also consume the body's stored vitamin B and disrupt carbohydrate metabolism.

Pay attention to diet conditioning during menstruation, avoid eating cold, raw, and cold foods, and eat more lean meat, fish, soy products, fresh vegetables, and fruits during menstruation. Pay attention to local hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation as this can easily lead to bacterial infection and gynecological diseases.
