Can I drink milk during my period?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Having a lot of dairy products is not the best idea, as it can cause cramping. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream contain arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which can increase inflammation and can intensify your period pain.

Milk Consumption During Periods
It's perfectly fine to drink milk during your period. Milk can be beneficial because:a. Calcium and Vitamin D: These nutrients support bone health and may ease menstrual cramps.
b. Protein and Hydration: Milk helps maintain energy levels.

Considerations
If dairy worsens digestive discomfort or bloating, adjust your intake. Otherwise, milk is safe and comforting as part of a balanced diet. -
Alternatives
If lactose intolerant or concerned about dairy, consider lactose-free milk or plant-based options.

I'm a 37-year-old woman who's had four abortions could this affect my sexual health or libido in the long run? I also had family planning surgery after the last abortion could frequent abortions have damaged my genital organs?
In most cases, a history of four abortions, even with a subsequent family planning surgery, is unlikely to significantly impact sexual health or libido in the long run. However, individual experiences can vary.
