Patient's question:
I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain for a while now, with pain on both sides. My vaginal discharge is also a bit abnormal, appearing purulent, and I might have appendicitis. I'm not sure what to do now. Could you please tell me what things patients with appendicitis should avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
When taking Chinese herbal medicine to clear internal heat, it is not advisable to consume spicy foods such as scallions, garlic, pepper, mutton, or dog meat. When treating "cold conditions" with Chinese herbal medicine, cold foods should be avoided. When taking diaphoretic medicine, avoid vinegar and cold foods. When taking tonics, avoid tea and radishes. Some foods are inherently harmful to certain conditions and should also be avoided. For example, individuals with sores, scabies, boils, or skin itching should not eat fish, shrimp, or mutton and other pungent foods to prevent worsening the condition. Wishing you good health.There are many treatment methods in gynecology and obstetrics, but since patients' symptoms vary, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
