What will happen if you drink brown sugar water on an empty stomach during menstruation?

I believe that menstruation is something that every woman will experience in her life, and many women will feel very uncomfortable during the menstrual period because there is always bloating and pain in the lower abdomen. It also makes us feel weak in the limbs and unable to concentrate on work and study. Therefore, many friends like to drink some brown sugar water to relieve menstrual pain. So what will happen if you drink brown sugar water on an empty stomach during menstruation? In the following time, please let my friends join me to find out.

Is it good to drink brown sugar water during menstruation?

During their menstrual period, many women feel irritable and depressed, and have to endure the "torture" of dull stomach pain. People around them often advise them to drink some brown sugar water. However, Sun Lifang, deputy director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, believes that this method cannot relieve menstrual pain.

In most cases, dysmenorrhea is caused by increased synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium. In addition, poor menstrual blood flow or gynecological diseases such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and pelvic congestion can also cause abdominal pain during menstruation. Director Sun said that methods such as drinking brown sugar water are often suitable for women recovering from childbirth and can help them relieve uterine contractions. But it is not very useful for women during menstruation. Sometimes eating too much sweets will increase their anxiety.

"In fact, for patients with dysmenorrhea, diet therapy can play a good preventive and therapeutic role." Director Sun said that within 3-5 days before menstruation, the diet should be light and easy to digest. It is best to eat some food that is easily digested and absorbed, and do not eat too much. When menstruation has come, you must avoid eating raw and cold foods and irritating foods such as chili peppers, raw onions, raw garlic, and pepper, as they will stimulate the contraction of the uterus and fallopian tubes, thereby inducing or aggravating dysmenorrhea. You should also eat less cold foods such as bamboo shoots and cabbage, as well as fried and high-calorie foods. Try to eat less "junk food" that is too sweet or salty, as it can easily cause bloating or slow movement.

Director Sun suggested that patients with dysmenorrhea can eat some sour foods, such as sauerkraut, vinegar, etc., which can relieve pain to a certain extent. If the amount of menstrual blood is not much, you can also drink a moderate amount of wine, which can promote blood circulation, dilate blood vessels, relax smooth muscles, and have a good effect on the prevention and treatment of dysmenorrhea.

What are the effects of drinking brown sugar water during menstruation?

Brown sugar is warm in nature, sweet in taste, and enters the liver and spleen meridians. It has the effects of invigorating qi, helping the spleen to digest food, replenishing blood and removing blood stasis, and also has the effect of dispelling cold and relieving pain. Therefore, for women who suffer from irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, dark red menstruation and cold abdominal pain caused by cold and blood stasis, drinking some brown sugar water can often play a therapeutic and alleviating role.

The above paragraphs explain to us the issue of drinking brown sugar water on an empty stomach during menstruation. I believe that friends who have read the above content carefully will have their own unique insights and more standard answers to this question. Of course, what I want to tell you is that the menstrual period itself requires us to supplement more nutrients, so we should drink more boiled water when we are on an empty stomach, so as to promote detoxification in the body.
