Can I take Maca during my period?

If you are menstruating, try not to eat maca or take any medicines, otherwise it will definitely cause some diseases in your body. At this time, you will feel that your resistance has decreased, so you should add more nutrients to your body. But try not to drink milk, which will cause dysmenorrhea.

③ Milk

Although milk is a very good food, cheese-like foods can cause dysmenorrhea. Foods such as milk, cream, yeast milk and cheese can destroy the body's absorption of magnesium.

④Alcohol

Alcoholic beverages can destroy vitamin B and minerals in the body. Drinking too much can affect carbohydrate metabolism and easily produce too much estrogen, which can cause blood vessels to dilate, leading to early menstruation or heavy menstrual bleeding.

⑤Caffeinated beverages

Drinking caffeinated beverages during menstruation can cause breast tenderness, anxiety, and irritability, and it also disrupts carbohydrate metabolism and vitamin B in the body.

⑥Cold drinks

Do not drink cold drinks or eat raw or cold food during menstruation. Women should remember not to drink these beverages during their menstrual period. For the sake of their health, just bear with it for now.

Medical contraindications

Avoid tooth extraction

If you have a diseased tooth that needs to be extracted, remember to avoid the menstrual period. This is because there is an oral disease called dry socket that will cause persistent pain starting from the ear and neck 3 to 4 days after tooth extraction, and then radiate to half of the head and face, causing local lymph node enlargement, low fever, general discomfort, decreased appetite, difficulty opening the mouth, dissolution of blood clots in the alveolar socket, exposure and necrosis of the alveolar bone, etc.

According to statistics from dentists, about 60% of female patients suffering from dry sockets suffer from this disease due to tooth extraction during menstruation.

During menstruation, the amount of pro-fibrinolytic activator in female saliva increases and reaches its maximum value. When the wound surface after tooth extraction comes into contact with saliva, the blood clot will be destroyed prematurely, compensatory bleeding will occur, and healing will be affected. In addition, bacteria will take the opportunity to invade, leading to the occurrence of socket disease.
