Patient's question:
Female, 32 years old, has been experiencing severe and increasing leukorrhea with a bad odor for a while. She also has lower abdominal swelling and pain. A gynecological examination revealed cervicitis. Please ask what foods should be avoided with cervicitis?Doctor's answer:
Avoid spicy, fried, and warm-natured foods: such as chili peppers, onions, mustard, roasted chicken, as well as beef, mutton, and dog meat. These foods are mostly hot in nature, and if consumed by patients, they may cause stomach heat, leading to worsening of the condition.Avoid sweet, greasy, and rich foods: If a patient has cervical inflammation, they should not eat overly sweet and greasy foods, such as candies, cream cakes, eight-jeweled rice, pork, lamb fat, and egg yolks. These foods promote dampness, which can reduce the effectiveness of cervical inflammation treatment and make recovery more difficult.
