What happens if you drink coffee during your period?

During menstruation, women's bodies are in a relatively special state. They cannot do anything strenuous or eat cold food, otherwise it will cause great harm to the body and even induce more serious gynecological diseases. Especially in terms of diet, since many girls are foodies, you must be patient these days and not eat casually. So is it okay to drink coffee during menstruation?

This is a question that some female friends who love to drink coffee are most concerned about when they have their period. Since female friends are weak during menstruation, there are many taboos. So, can they drink coffee during menstruation?

Regarding this problem for female friends, gynecologists say that female friends can drink coffee during menstruation, but not too much, just a moderate amount is enough. Coffee contains a lot of caffeine. When menstruation comes, the body's internal environment will change to a certain extent. At this time, a small amount of caffeine can relieve girls' menstrual discomfort, but too much caffeine will hinder the metabolism of carbohydrates and cause breast edema and swelling and pain. Moreover, if the intake of caffeine is too much, it will increase the consumption of vitamin B stored in the body. The choline and inositol in vitamin B have a calming effect on the central nervous system. Their destruction can cause symptoms of emotional instability such as insomnia, anxiety, and irritability.

Women's physical bodies are relatively weak during menstruation, so they should pay attention to many aspects. For example, they should eat light, nutritious food with a mild taste during menstruation. They should not eat spicy food, smoke or drink, so as not to stimulate blood vessel dilation and cause early menstruation and excessive menstrual flow. During menstruation, you should eat fresh and easily digestible food, and avoid eating raw, cold, and difficult to digest food. Eating raw or cold food during menstruation can not only hinder digestion, but also easily damage the body's yang energy, leading to poor menstrual blood flow, too little menstrual blood, and even dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea.

Secondly, the vulva should be kept clean during menstruation, and it should be wiped with warm water every night. It is not advisable to take a tub bath or a sitz bath, but a shower is better; sanitary napkins and paper should be soft and clean, and it is best to sterilize them under high pressure before use; sanitary napkins and underwear should be changed and washed frequently to reduce the irritation of blood stains to the vulva and inner thighs. After defecation, wipe from front to back to avoid bringing dirt into the vagina and causing vaginitis or uterine inflammation.
