i have irregular period so i tried drink pineapple juice everyday..but it doesnt work..still the same!and i got gastric..damn it!

old ppl say drink cold water not good but my gf seems to be alright with it..

dun take alcohol during period,sleep early,changes frequently,dun take spicy food...these r wat my old ppl told me la..

Basically when period comes to visit you, it only not advisable to drink cool drink only. Gal can continue to eat any food should not be a problem even spicy food. For cold drink, it tends to beku your period blood at gal uterus & it will make the gal more painful when the blood out. If worst, the blood stay at gal uterus & severly might due cancer uterus.

As for irregular period is due to your daily food consumption. Besides it also depend on you personal hormone in your body. Advise is as long drink more water & sleep early is the best for your period process. Make sure after period, buy the tradisional "Pak Chen" herbs. Actually gal everymonth auntie visits will make the gal weak in the long term if you dont take k.

So happy auntie visit to all gal.....

Eh pineapple juice, isn't it to prolong your period?

some of my experience:

eat healthy, more vege and fruits
you can take supplement like EPO daily. It helps to regulate your period pattern and ease the discomfort during period also

more toufu or any soy products during period will reduce the discomfort like cramp. Soy also eases your PMS.

drink alot of water and take fruits(not pineapple)during period.

last but not least, exercise, exercise and exercise...a healthy body will give less problem to us overall...

cheers...

jealous?ask yr auntie to visit u la...u can go visit her also..dun play with gal's big aunty

mm..i dun think pineapple juice helps to bring forward periods but i quite certain that it wil cause bad cramps
few yrs ago i took one small piece of pineapple on the day b4 period and the nex day my stomach cramp like HELL.i cant even stand up straight!
so gals...pls be aware of wat u take during that time of the month ok..

i also heard that drinking gas drinks wil end periods sooner...nvr tried that hehe..dunt dare to try

lol.. no.. i am not ok with taking cold drinks dear.. i dont care oni.. but it hurts like hell if i take especially coca cola on d day before..

wah.. lucky i din eat pineapple.. my mum was cutting up the pineapple on the day 'my aunty came for a visit' lol

Your auntie visit you on Jul 21 2008? 08:46:( ....btw, what is big aunty? Aunty also got big & small? ...i just wana to wish gal to enjoy their auntie visit lolll.....eventually gal should appreciate their auntie visit as is a sign showing your pure woman mahh...rite? Imagine one day you no longer have auntie visit how would your feeling? Its just like guy become impotent & no longer feel a pure guy liao lorrr....
Sorry too loong gas....ciaooo.....

oppss one more things, btw how old are you jianjee..

ow.in fact my real aunty really visited me tat day after i post this up
big aunty as in direct translation from cantonese?? erm..from another prespective,yea..no auntie visit shows that your age of glory is over..but somehow you have lesser troubles rite? guy become impotent is a totally different thing leh..

i'm at the border of underage and 'enough age' FYI

lols.. comon.. we wont miss our periods.. i find it a nuisance >.< imagine if you guys BLEED every month.. for decades.. sheesh.. thats totally different from being impotent or not

Dun take too much cold or soft drinks and try to eat more veggie and fruits if u do not wish to suffer a painful menstrual cramps (in which i had for countless times). I am not sure about pineapple though.

how does eating fruits n vege help??

well... sorta... vitamins are good so you don't feel so tired and you keep your immunity up. Also i find that it makes going to the loo for the big stuff easier when having period cos you don't have to 'push' much and upset the cramps.

Is putting hot water bag on stomach help reducing the pain during period?
Gf always say very pain during her period, almost everyday during period, but i dono what can do....

my period damn irregular one...
but once i feel my tummy damn bloated.. i eat a lot of sour fruits...
then come out.. but super sakit that time.. OVERFLOW

stress only make my period delay..."

yup yup my mum will cook this every month for us. i really really hate the taste cuz its too pahit. i'll onli prefer after i finish the soup n eat the egg haha.

my period never delay but it came earlier every mth. just feel like not worth cuz i might hv 2 periods in a mth. early mth when period bout to end n end of the mth start.
