A member asked:

Not usually...: Question to address here is why you crave ice? Sometimes vitamin deficiencies make people crave certain foods. Ice is water, so will not be hurtful; however, if the cravings are new and strong, consider nutritional evaluation.

No: Eating ice is not bad for your bladder or uterus. Eating a lot of ice is a condition called "pica," and can be caused by anemia. If this is a recurring problem, visit your doctor and get your hemoglobin (blood count) checked. Hope this helps!
