Dr. Chen Zhe
Eating green plums does not cause menstrual disorders. Green plums have effects such as strengthening the spleen, stimulating the appetite, promoting saliva production, relieving sore throat, astringing the intestines, and stopping diarrhea. They do not affect women's menstruation. Green plums contain various organic acids such as citric acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid, which can effectively stimulate the secretion of digestive juices, thereby alleviating symptoms like poor appetite and indigestion. For patients with voice loss, moderate consumption of green plums can help generate oral fluids and relieve sore throat and pain.
