Patient's question:
I am 48 years old this year, and I am currently experiencing vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain. Please; what should women with ovarian cysts pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Women during menstruation and postpartum should pay special attention to dietary and lifestyle care. Abstain from sexual activity, maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia and vagina, keep a calm and stable mood, and minimize various competitive pressures in life. Avoid excessive worry, frustration, and anger. Learn to self-regulate, protect against cold, prevent catching colds, and avoid activities like climbing in the rain, being splashed with cold water, or ice skating. Maintain a balance between work and rest. The diet should be highly nutritious, light, and easy to digest, avoiding extremely cold and irritating foods. Always ensure a strong body constitution, smooth blood and qi flow, physical and mental health. It is advisable to consume foods with anti-ovarian tumor effects: humpback whale, seahorse, softshell turtle, dragon pearl tea, and hawthorn. For abdominal pain, it is recommended to eat pig kidneys, bayberry, hawthorn, orange cakes, walnuts, and chestnuts.
