Patient's question:
I am a 61-year-old woman. Recently, when washing my underwear, I have been finding a lot of curd-like discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. Please ask: What should I pay attention to in my diet if I have uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
If you have uterine fibroids, you need to pay attention to your diet and eat at regular times and in appropriate quantities. Avoid overeating and consuming excessive amounts of food. Your diet should be light and simple, and you should not eat foods that are considered "heating" or "inducing" such as mutton and dog meat. Instead, focus on consuming low-fat foods, fresh vegetables and fruits, and whole grains. Avoid foods that are hot in nature, promote blood coagulation, or contain hormone components, such as longans, jujubes, eel glue, and royal jelly. Additionally, patients need to maintain a disciplined diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood and consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods. Drinking plenty of water and eating more vegetables and fruits is also beneficial.
