Will eating curry make menstrual cramps worse?

Whether eating curry will aggravate dysmenorrhea depends on the amount of curry eaten and personal physical condition. Generally speaking, it will not, but it may happen. The specific situation varies from person to person.

If your body is not very sensitive and you eat less curry, it will generally not aggravate dysmenorrhea. However, if you are more sensitive or eat more curry, it may aggravate dysmenorrhea. Curry is a condiment, a spicy food, mainly composed of various condiments such as onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, star anise, etc. It may irritate the gastrointestinal tract. If you have digestive system diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcers, you may experience symptoms of stomach acid, bloating, and pain. It may also stimulate the uterus, causing uterine contractions, which may also aggravate dysmenorrhea.

Eating a small amount of curry generally does not have an impact on the body, but eating too much may cause excessive burden on the digestive tract and affect personal recovery. You need to maintain good living habits at ordinary times. During menstruation, you need to pay attention to a light diet, drink plenty of water, and rest more. If you have dysmenorrhea or the symptoms worsen, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment.
