Drinking coffee during menstruation is not advisable. Coffee contains high levels of substances that stimulate the nervous system, which may contribute to conditions such as endometriosis, disrupt endocrine function, and potentially delay menstruation. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid coffee entirely during your period. Additionally, keeping the abdomen warm during menstruation is important—using a hot water bottle for heat application can help alleviate menstrual cramps.
