Some of these problems are focused upon the rheological changes that show up in the blood. Food recommendations are one of the first therapeutic measures in Traditional Iranian Medicine and determination of the type of patient's diet is an integral part of the therapeutic protocols of this medicine. This article intends to review the books of Traditional Iranian Medicine in addition to the nutritional recommendations of this science in abnormal uterine bleeding and explain their effect on changes in blood rheology. For this purpose, the texts of Iranian Medicine related to different ages were searched and dietary recommendations in abnormal uterine bleeding were extracted.
