Introduction
Generally speaking, "例假" refers to menstruation. Eating dog meat during menstruation does not help expel stagnant blood. During the menstrual period, women's bodies are relatively weak and require adequate rest, warmth, and nutritional supplementation. Although dog meat contains abundant nutrients such as protein, fat, and vitamins, and moderate consumption can help replenish essential nutrients and enhance immunity, it does not have special effects related to blood cleansing during menstruation.

Generally speaking, "例假" (lèijià) refers to menstruation. Eating dog meat during menstruation does not help expel stagnant blood. The detailed explanation is as follows:

During the menstrual period, a woman's body is relatively weak and requires adequate rest, warmth, and nutritional supplementation. Although dog meat contains abundant nutrients such as protein, fat, and vitamins, and moderate consumption can help replenish nutrients and enhance immunity, it does not promote the expulsion of stagnant blood. Stagnant blood refers to residual material in the uterus or menstrual blood that has not been fully discharged. Consuming dog meat has no effect on these residues or menstrual blood, nor does it stimulate uterine contractions or increase blood circulation to aid in blood discharge.

If a woman experiences discomfort, she should seek timely medical attention for appropriate diagnosis and treatment to avoid delaying her recovery.
