Traditional Chinese medicine is against women eating ice during menstruation, while Western medicine believes that there are no taboos. Menstrual blood is the shedding of the endometrium, and is discharged through the contraction of the uterus. When eating ice, the temperature of the stomach and intestines drops, which affects the contraction of the uterus and makes it more difficult to discharge menstrual blood, thus forming blood clots. 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. However, if you experience excessive menstrual pain due to eating ice, you should go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to check if there are other possible diseases.
