Patient's question:
I am a woman, 56 years old. Three months ago, a thorough examination revealed a tendency to develop uterine fibroids. I am particularly concerned about the negative impact on my health. I would like to ask what issues should be noted regarding uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
First, don't worry too much. This condition is usually benign. Try to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light diet, and don't eat too much greasy food. Eat more fish, eggs, and vegetables, fruits, etc.Second, avoid overexertion, especially during your period, and pay attention to rest. Keep the external genital area clean and dry, and wear loose underwear.
Finally, avoid taking extra estrogen. After menopause, this is particularly important to prevent uterine fibroids from growing.
