For most healthy women, moderate consumption of fermented rice with egg during menstruation is safe. Both fermented rice (rice wine) and eggs contain certain nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals, which can provide energy and nutritional support, helping to relieve menstrual fatigue. In particular, the fermented products in fermented rice may benefit blood circulation.

Consuming moderate amounts of fermented rice and egg soup can also promote metabolism and help eliminate toxins from the body. Fermented rice with egg contains alcohol, which has functions such as promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and improving meridian function. However, excessive consumption by women during menstruation may lead to increased menstrual flow and stimulate uterine contractions, causing dysmenorrhea.

Women during menstruation should mainly eat light and easily digestible foods, avoiding raw, cold, spicy, or irritating foods. It is important to control the amount consumed to prevent physical discomfort caused by overconsumption.
