Can you eat spicy food during menstruation?

Women should try not to eat spicy food during menstruation because eating spicy food during menstruation can easily cause prolonged menstrual periods, increased menstrual blood and menstrual cramps. Moreover, eating too spicy food for a long time will affect the hormone level in the body and make it easy for pelvic bleeding to occur. During menstruation, women’s resistance is low, so eating spicy food can stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and cause sore throat. Eating spicy food also affects the skin and can cause rough skin and acne. It is recommended that menstruating women should eat light and digestible food and pay attention to keeping their abdomen warm, so they can drink brown sugar and ginger water. During menstruation, it is important to pay attention to vaginal care, change sanitary napkins in time, change underwear in advance, and take rest to avoid staying up late as women are tired and weak during menstruation.
