Women should not drink tea during menstruation. Menstrual blood will take away some iron, so it is advisable to supplement more iron-containing foods, such as spinach, apples, grapes, etc. However, tea contains up to 30% to 50% tannic acid, which will hinder the intestinal mucosa's absorption and utilization of iron. It is very easy to combine with iron in food or iron in blood tonics in the intestine to produce precipitation.

In your case, I recommend that you have an endocrine test to see if the hormone levels in your body are normal.
