In order to discharge the blood clots, the uterus has to increase the force of its contraction. This is why eating ice may cause menstrual pain. Western medicine does not exclude any food. Even ice can be eaten during confinement. Although eating ice may cause uterine contraction and cause menstrual pain, these blood clots can be discharged through the body's internal mechanism, so women do not need to worry too much.
