Last night, at 11p.m sharp my friend sent me a text message
"Girls, do you know that drinking a cold water over your period time (menstruation cycle) could damage your ovarian and even may lead to ovarian cancer and cyst."
This message even told me to spread this info. Instead of forwarding this message, i try to confirm this info's accuracy first since i've never heard something like that before. After a few search and browse, i still couldn't find any article mention about it. I didn't mean to say that this info was absolutely wrong, but neither i could say that it was true since i couldn't find anything related to this info, except there's a blog says that she was accepting the same message.
If you guys have info related to this topic, please let us know...
Instead of arguing the accuracy of that info, let us share info about premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea. Premenstrual syndrome is a group of symptoms that occur during 7-14 days before period time, while dysmenorrhea is pain associated with menstruation. About half of menstruating women experience these disorders. The etiology remains unknown and may be complex and multifactorial
The disorders can manifest with a wide variety of symptoms (behavioral, psychologic, and physical symptoms) such as; depression, mood lability, abdominal pain, breast tenderness, headache, and fatigue. I, myself feel that the most bothering one is insomnia, pffhhh..

How to relief PMS and Dysmenorrhea
1. Place a bottle of warm water (water sack) in your belly
2. Sleep in supine position, support your legs with a pillow
3. Simple exercise (sit-up, jogging, cycling) to help blood circulation on your abdomen and ovarian
4. Message or give pressure on your lumbal
5. Sodium restriction to minimize bloating, fluid retention, and breast swelling and tenderness
Besides all those strategies, balance nutrition also plays a big role to minimize the symptoms. Vitamin A taken during the second half of the cycle seems to reduce some of the symptoms ; however betacarotene will reduce to vitamin A in the body and probably makes a better supplement in general. Apricots, sweet potato, mangoes, peaches, and a variety of other antioxidants are very healthy sources of betacarotene. Vitamin E has a good effect upon fatigue, while vitamin B6 is an excellent stress relief and diuretic.
As i said before, i am terribly sorry that i couldn't provide you with any info about correlation between drinking cold water over period time and ovarian cancer. But if you do have any info that you might want to share to us, please...
