Patient's question:
I am a 57-year-old woman who went through menopause two years ago. However, recently I have been experiencing intense itching in my outer genital area and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Could you please advise on what dietary precautions should be taken for someone with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Women with uterine fibroids should pay attention to a light diet. The diet should contain sufficient nutrients and correct picky eating and abnormal dietary habits. It is not advisable to frequently consume irritating foods, seafood, etc. It is best to consume foods such as milk, spinach, Chinese yam, cabbage, rapeseed, mushrooms, lean meat, eggs, crucian carp, apples, pear, jujubes, peanuts, and black rice. Then, patients need to maintain a regulated diet, follow a regular schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, eat more light and soft foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
