JAKARTA - For most people, drinking coffee has become a daily routine, both men and women. However, for women there are still frequent debates about drinking coffee during menstruation having an impact on health.
Some say that drinking coffee during menstruation will have a negative effect, namely worsening the symptoms of premendural syndrome (PMS) and causing breast pain. However, this claim was denied by female health and dietist Elizabeth Ward, quoted from Eating Well, on Thursday, January 16, 2025.
Elizabeth said that there has been no study showing a link between caffeine intake and increasing PMS symptoms. The intake of caffeine is also shown unable to prolong the length of the menstrual cycle.
The latest research in 2022 by BMC Women's Health also explains that coffee warrants tend not to experience a longer menstrual cycle. These results were obtained after examining 9,335 women aged between 25 and 40 years.
Therefore, women do not need to avoid caffeine during menstruation. This is because no correlation or negative effects of caffeine on the menstrual cycle and symptoms of PMS are found.
However, experts still recommend that coffee consumption is not excessive during menstruation. In general, the maximum daily caffeine dose is 400 milligrams or the equivalent of 4 to 5 cups of coffee.
