Patient's question:
I am a 63-year-old woman. Recently, while 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. Could you please tell me: What should I pay attention to in my diet if I have uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Patients with uterine fibroids are generally advised not to eat foods high in estrogen, such as royal jelly, bird's nest, soy products, and chicken, which are considered "trigger foods." It is also best to limit the intake of pomegranates and certain legumes, as these plant-based foods contain phytohormones related to female hormones. Additionally, during treatment, patients should maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, engage in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. Keeping personal hygiene is also important to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
